for our task we are given all 5 ts Eliot poems and I was wondering if you have any strategies to memorise analysis / intro statements?
I’ll def try this. Thanks!In terms of analysis, I would make a sing sing for all my quotes if that makes sense. I would memorise it and practice doing hsc/trial questions adapting my quotes. In the hsc and trials, I found it easier to quickly write the song song (it was short) and since each word corresponded with a quote or analysis I could look at it and connect it more to the question.
In saying this, this strategy may not work for everyone- so I often don’t tell my students to try it. Instead, you need to experiment with different methods and do practice exam conditions to see which works for you. Good luck!
Nope but it says at least TWO poemsare they asking for specific poems to be written? During HSC, I had an essay on 2 poems but I knew the main ideas, themes and little quotes from the others. What are they asking you to do?
Yep any poems, and she just said 2 thank goodness. I feel like that better for me rnOh, can the q include directly any poems? I think it’s best to pick 2 (maybe 3) poems and do your essay but know others incase they give you an extract or ask for a specific poem!
