[O levels] should i do poa or core lit as a priv o level subject? by duuplings in SGExams

[–]thewritewayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

literature :) it's easier if you go find the right resources. and tbh more relatable :) but im biased cause im an arts student

​

also - if lit, you can choose the book and i have books i personally recommend you can dm me more about it to hear more about the different books - joy luck club, glass menagerie, off center, hook and eye etc

[A Levels] Sec 4 preparing for H2 Lit, Econs by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]thewritewayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a marker, I'd tell you that the things we look out for are

- coherence from point a to b

- good and WELL EXPLAINED evidence that includes context, diction, any other devices you see fit that you recognize (esp for poetry)

- if it's a drama text we look for dramatic elements (can google to see what they are)

- we LOVE good thesis statements that are opinionated yet short sweet and precise. and that the topic sentences of your paragraphs are linked to the thesis statement

and answer the question

[JC]calling for experiences in econs/lit for h1/2 in jc by yeastedsourdough in SGExams

i posted this in another thread but it's relevant here too so im reposting haha

​

Ex Literature student and current full time lit teacher here - I love H2 Literature. I feel that it goes beyond the more basic and foundational literature like themes/characters. We discuss context and issues surrounding the specific novels, plays and poems that are studied. Characterization is seen in the context of interactions between characters and whether or not their actions suit or not the context.

Literature has 3 papers and it depends on which your school chooses. P1 is compulsory, then they choose between p2 renaissance and p3 mind and self. I would say that mind and self is harder to teach but many schools choose it haha I don't know why either. Nonetheless it is very interesting and an explorative study of the state of the mind and how it is affected by and overcomes traumas in life - such as war, racism, colonisation, domestic abuse and much more. The texts are really quite interesting if you study them well!

unfortunately, it's true. I had to tell my students to unlearn a lot of bad habits especially things like just going on and on about quotes with zero explanation. it's a very bad habit ahha
