      I would recommend these books called "The Quotation Bank". They pick out key quotes and analyse techniques and give interpretations ect, basically giving ideas for A01 A02 A03 A04 response. Really liked these books! They have a lot of different studies of different texts so I think you would be able to find ones your studying. Hope you found this helpful. I thought I would just share it with you because it saved me a lot of time and they have really helped me.

    I can relate so much to having so many ideas and going off track. I feel like because I'm 'naturally' good at English I constantly feel like what I'm writing isn't going to be good enough because I just see what I'm writing as basic when in actuality it's to a high standard. 😩 It was comforting to watch this though and realise that I already do the things you recommend for the higher grades! Wish me luck for that grade 9! I love your videos. :)

      Not Jade, but I take Eng Lit as well. You'd have to compare the ways the theme is presented, say, you can discuss from the literary devices used; from the aspect of the theme that it focuses on, sort like a sub-theme; from the tone/mood of the piece; etc. Comparison essays are so much fun to write, hope you enjoy writing them :)

    It's surprising how many of these I'm doing without noticing, I thought me getting 7s and 8s in literature was me getting lucky with the questions. I'm glad that I've got most of these points down already. Now it's just a matter of refining my skills, and hopefully, I can get an 8 or 9 like in English Language :). Thanks for the video regardless, my lit exam is next week.

    My English teacher this year is like a grade 8/9 teacher and teaches nothing below that band - our whole class gets pretty much nothing less than 7s because of how good he is and these are the exact “secret” tips he’s given to us. It’s amazing that jade has collected these up! Her tips are 100% grade 8/9 tips especially ones like treat the text like a construct and the way she doesn’t follow a set structure for her paragraphs but does layered analysises. If you’re teacher isn’t as good as mine you’re lucky jades here giving these tips out for free :)

    Before my first English literature exam I had never written a full essay and I was predicted a 4/5 (C/B) and always thought I was going to fail. In all the practice paragraphs I had written I got grade 5 and the day of the exams i thought it went quiet well. Skip ahead more than a month to results day and I saw the grade for lit: 8 (A*). I could not believe it and only realised a few weeks later that it was thanks to listening to this video because it's so helpful and portrays the goal of essays really clearly so you know what you have to do which isn't always easy. Thank you so much for this you saved my English lit grade!

    1 ) plan underline potential points number in the order you plan to write in.
    2 )Answer the question. say relevant to the question. possibly do this by starting each paragraph with the question reworded and ended
    3 )keep saying the author's name to reinforce the idea that it is a fictional story
    4) Have an array of synonyms for the word suggest as it gets stale to the examiner if you repeat it too many times.
    examples of good synonyms for "suggest" are convey, collude to imply, invokes, highlights and connotes
    5) don't spend to much time on the introduction it is meaningless to spend valuable exam time to plan your Intro. However, the intro is a good way to tick off some of the AOs don't have a one-sided view in the intro lean but don't limit yourself.
    6) isolate a good quote make and embed your quote into point begin with a broad overarching then go into more detail i.e context form
    7) comparison point branch out to each novel brings both novels back to the point repeat till conclusion.
    8) ues a dope writing style
    9) alternative response use it may argue it writes in the third person
    10) good conclusion
