Doing well In Literature?

<< < (3/7) > >>

rh:
i'm having a bit of trouble with passage analysis essays as well. eriny your example essay is helping a lot, thanks for uploading! generally, do they have around that length (it's approx 1,000 words) or is yours a little longer than usual?

Eriny:
I think it's a little longer than usual, but generally I think higher scoring responses tend to be around the 1000 word mark (some even get above that!). If you write something brilliant that's about 600-700 words long, you can still potentially get a 50 though. As long as you explore the passages well and provide a comprehensive interpretation it doesn't matter how much you write.

im starting to really dread this lit exam. my sac average throughout the year is 94%, but i am so not prepared for the exam, we havent done any work that is like what we have to do in terms of the whole passage analysis task...i dont even think my class knows what exactly we have to do for the exam...

amyminchin:
oh my gosh, that's terrible!! Your teaching should be preparing you much better. I've been doing close analysis since term one, year 11. Just have a look through the past exams and get a feel of what it's going to look like, do loads of timed essays (one hour for each is generally the way to go) and read the chapters on close analysis  in your text book :)
What text are you doing other than Kinsella?

bridgethuss:
yeah its really really bad, but my sister and i are going to the VATE revision day, hopefully that helps. we are also doing bleak house and sense and sensibility. i think ill be ok in terms of knowledge of the text and themes etc, but we really havent done much preparation at all. we are still working on our final sac really, we have to keep doing kinsella analysis ( even though no one gets it) and i got an a for the first one, the highest mark was 34/40 in my class, which isnt very great for a top mark.. but our best mark will be picked and used for the sac score. i think where we went wrong was for that sac marked out of 20, considering alternative viewpoints i think it was? anyway, we looked at minority report, where we really should have done kinsella, i just dont understand why we even had minority report when its not on the exam? confusing.
but yeah, kinsella, bleak house and s&s!
