Revision Strategies

Please note: You'll need to evidence 4 hours of revision by Monday 12/12/11



As you have your mock exam next week, we thought we'd collect some useful revision strategies in the one place for you. Try these on for size:

Re-read key section of Frankenstein - you may decide on key scenes by looking at key moments where the narrative is moved forward, characters are developed, themes are explored or motif used (think weather, violence, religious imagery).

Re-read the poems we've covered and develop further your annotations - look at the list of devices in your annotations book, choose one, for example Pathos/Bathos, and find examples of the technique across all the poems.


Complete poetry circles on key images from the novel and poems - W:\STUDENTS SHARED RESOURCES\English\A Level\Browning


Listen to the mp.3 files from our Tuesday lectures - W:\STUDENTS SHARED RESOURCES\English\A Level\Browning

Answer the 15 questions on the back page of you annotations books for all the poems we've covered. For each poem, record your answers on A4 paper and glue it to the edge of the pages for that poem.

Take some A3 paper from us - do a theme or character map. Find quotations and textual reference to evidence the themes (not give quotes was a key deficiency in your VIMAs)

Re-read all you wider reading for Browning. Then, combine the key points into a table by them or concept.

Review the material on Feminism, Karlin's Double Vision, The Philosophy of the Imperfect and Romanticism - create a PointPoint presentation that explains the concept and provide evidence from the poems.

Respond to the question on your revision cards - you have 150 questions of prompts to work from!!
