Nabz Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I was just starting this thread thinking that i might come across some great tips in order to help myself and others. So the situation is that, i have my oral tomorrow (final one and yes i'm panicking a lot lol) and since i've had my mock already, i know how it'll be working but the thing is that i start waffling around because i couldn't analyse the key techniques used the passage. Are there any last minute tips to help me out with analyzing the passage? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoast93 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 my suggestion for the structure:1. Introduction (candidate number, school, language course taken,...)2. Title of work and author's name3. Context: where is it found? what happens before? what happens after this passage?4. Summary: what happens in the given passage?5. Theme (must be generally applicable to any work)- then explain in detail and pull lines to prove what your saying6. Characters (which characters are present? what are their personalities like? how do they progress? what relationships are important?)7. Mood and Imagery8. Symbols9. Stylistic Devices10. Closing thoughtsGeneral advice:when you quote from the passage, say the line number before reading out the line (examiners prefer this)Talk slow, calm and loudHave mini links in each section saying what the effect of the theme isUse the full 20 minutes beforehand to plan (focus on theme/symbols/mood/imagery/stylistic devices)- the summary is easier to make up on the spotdon't worry! i'm sure it will be fine Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
