1. For Suspense and Tension (Rescue of a Newborn)

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

Download it here. Note the use of keywords that continuously link back to the question.

You may wish to print your own copy before I go through it in class.

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!

File Check!

1PE, I'm glad most of you have all your worksheets and handouts!
Keep it up. Be tidy and organised ;)
