Note that these are suggested points only - you may have other points that are also accepted. Also, don't be flabbergasted by the length of my answer... I write more so that you can learn more. Yours can be about 1-2 para shorter :p

1PR only

Here's what was discussed in class (possible points for your Lit Analysis Q)

VERY IMPORTANT:
  1. Write the question on top of your answer.
  2. If using non-SCGS paper, please draw a margin on the right side.
  3. Try to finish Q2 at home too (on "Point of View"). Total length of the whole 2 questions should be AROUND 2 sides of foolscap

Practice for The Giver (PBQ)

Dear Sec 1s,

Anxious about Paper 3? Well, here's a practice PBQ for you on "The Giver". The actual exam format for "The Giver" will be similar.

Q1 - please SCOUR the passage thoroughly to find points! Comb every line to find possible answers. There's a lot!
Q2 - same as above to find MOOD. (i.e. feelings present/ the general atmosphere among them - how are they feeling? How are they feeling FOR each other/ treating each other?)
2nd part of Q - Think: What are significant changes in Jonas life? How does this affect how he interacts with his family later?

Your total length for this 25m question should be around 1 full sheet (2 sides) of foolscap paper. Remember to use the S.E.E format.

Jia You!
