Hi! There's not really a set textbook, that explains how to write the ideal answer that I know of, only the set texts for english literature. Find out what exam board you are doing, and then prepare by looking at the syllabus, studying carefully the materials that will be assessed, and practicing writing answers.

For poetry, In answering the question, is it okay to give a stanza by stanza analysis divided through paragraphs for each stanza while referring to quotes in order to answer the question ? And if there aren’t any stanzas, is it ok to u a line by line analysis, example: Firstly the poet Indicates in stanza one..(stanza by stanza) Or Firstly in lines 1-5 the poet emphasises on..(line by line) (I hope my question is clear 😭)
@PolinasPages
Жыл бұрын
Personally I wouldn’t use this approach, because the question is usually not on the meaning of the poem but on a specific thing, such as the passage of time. Not every paragraph or every line has something to answer the question so you would be wasting time a little if you analyze every single thing. I think you should focus specifically on answering the question, and only if time permits expand on the broader poem as a whole

Hi! You can follow the example essay introduction structure, or you can do your own. Your introduction should just do the following: 1- introduce the topic (the question,) 2- make clear what you feel about the writer, eg using adjectives like memorable or vivid, 3- outline what you're going to talk about, ie the key themes. 4-Most importantly link it back to the question. At the very end say, through using such themes and ..... the writer draws comparisons between poem a and poem b to showcase .... (topic question.) So for example, ".... poem a and poem b to showcase the passage of time."

Hello! In october I will sit for literature IGCSE, and I have a big doubt. Because of a signicant amount of problems that happened in my school with literature teachers we are far behind on the poem and stories we should have read by now. Would you recommend to skip the ones that were asked last year, since I don´t think that there will be a question about the same poem or story as last year. Thank you very much. Greetings

Hi, I wanted to know about the latest syllabus for igcse for 2023 I read for drama there are four drama list lynn Nottage play crumbs from the table of joy, othelo, twelfth night, death and the king's horseman, and RC sherriff journey's end, I wanted to know shall my daughter learn all of them or there is a choice or it totally depends on school plz reply same with the anthology we learn all of them. If there is choice which drama My daughter take.
@PolinasPages
Жыл бұрын
Hi! Yes, usually there is a choice. Schools that are certified exam centres typically choose one work (completely depends on the school which one), so out of the four drama components, your daughter would have to reply to questions about just one, the one they studied in school. When the school gives the official exam, she would just answer the question on the work they studied rather than all of them. Same for the poetry anthology, the school will pick one list only, and she will have to study all 15 poems on that one list. In case the school decides to do it differently (but they really aren't supposed to) they will inform her of the change I'm sure

So do we require only 3 points not 4 - 6 ? Please clarify !
@PolinasPages
Жыл бұрын
Hi. It depends on the quality of your expansion of these points. Personally, I always go for just three, and each point is usually around two pages long for me, as I have several examples within the point. So for example if my point is imagery, I'll have at least three examples of imagery within the point. Typically teachers advise you to go for more points if they don't think your expansion is big enough. So for some it's quality over quantity, and for others it's the other way round. If you are concerned you cannot expand enough, I would go for 4-6 as others advise then. hope this helps:)

Hi! Thanks. When you read your essay try to react like an examiner would, and even if the point seems clear, ask yourself, is the point clear, or do I just know what I mean? Take a different colour pen and highlight how many times you use technical vocabulary, how many times you talk about context and how many times you talk about meaning, and themes. See what's lacking and learn to add more of that next time. You could also take isolated explanations and ask someone if this makes sense, and if they can understand the question your essay was answering without knowing it. That's usually a good marker of how well you answered the question
