    so i know you have intro and conclusion, but the 3 paras in the middle, I know they are meant to be a theme, but am still unsure how you find a common theme. - I have my mocks tmr

    • @missadamsteaches...
      @missadamsteaches...  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The exam question should give you a steer on theme. So for example, if the theme was relationships in belle dame and duchess, one paragraph might be on the way that women are treated as possessions in relationships, one might be on how women can be seen as threatening or dangerous and one might be on the after effect of relationships - ie. The knight is suffering whereas the duke is lining up his next wife! Remember you can look at differences as well as similarities. I hope that helps! Good luck tomorrow! 🤞

    • @missadamsteaches...
      @missadamsteaches...  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @beniscfacts​​⁠you can do differences too so a theme might be presented in different ways across two poems. For example, love in sonnet 116 is portrayed as everlasting whereas in belle dame, love is a temporary condition. Same theme, but different portrayals.

      @@missadamsteaches... okay thanks. last thing if that is okay. so after the intro, you do a paragraph of form and strucutre, with no quotes. so is it basically just explaing the type of the poem and how it is written, and then in the 2/3 point paras you just use language techniques with stuff like emjabamnet and caesura

    • @missadamsteaches...

      Hi there. Thanks so much for the feedback! Yes absolutely. I tell my students to write the titles in full in the intro and then shorten for the rest of the essay.

    Do you need a conclusion for this essay?

    • @missadamsteaches...
      @missadamsteaches...  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends how much time you have. If you’re worried you haven’t showed off enough comparative analysis, I would keep going and ignore the conclusion. If you’ve covered all your points, then yes that would be great. But you’re more likely to get more marks for further analysis than a conclusion.
