Folder set up for key Stage 4 GCSE Language and Literature

To help you revise and collate information for your study of GCSE Language and Literature it is vital that work and notes are kept in a coherent and clear way to help you to learn and revise for your exams.  The best way to achieve this is to use a FOLDER system.

You will need a lever arch or ring bound folder which you will generally keep at home to store your notes in.  You will also need a plastic wallet to carry your papers to and from school.  Your folder will need to be sub divided in the following way.
