11 short performances for teaching and performing Shakespeare This booklet contains 11 pieces of Shakespeare’s writing: some are dialogues involving many characters, others are monologues and there is one sonnet. Some are exactly as written; others have been edited to take a longer scene and capture a core portion of it suitable to be performed without the context of the wider play. The pieces have been chosen to cover a range of topics, from romance to villainy. It should be noted that two of the examples in particular (Witty Banter and A Pound of Flesh) heavily touch upon issues of discrimination and equality and it would be recommended that this issues be discussed if you want to use these pieces with your students.

As with previous specifications, the OCR GCSE Computing course has a Controlled Assessment component. Under the new 9-1 specification the conditions are far tougher on the students and therefore you may wish to do a mock-Controlled Assessment prior to real one. In preparation for the real controlled assessment materials being released in September 2017, OCR have released three exemplar question papers. This a model “grade 9” solution to that task coded in Python, designed to help students (and staff!) understand how to go about completing the project, separating their solution into: - Analysis - Design - Iterative Development (with Intermediate Testing) - Formal Testing - Evaluation I do not claim this is a perfect solution and there are certainly places where my interpretation of the question paper (and therefore my solution) may differ to someone else’s. I hope you find it useful!
