There is a sequence of steps which you must complete in order -  Choose your text after discussion with your teacher  Read and make notes on it using this Study Diary  Decide which aspects of the text to focus on; plan what you propose to do  Learn about what your examiner will be looking for in your essay  Write your first draft and check it; discuss this with your teacher  Write your final draft Your Task About This Diary Your Study Diary will help you through each of the steps above. You should have it with you as you read your novel, and keep all your notes in it. Don ’ t lose it , as it will form part of the evidence your teacher needs to have to be confident that you have completed this task on your own. You can keep track of your ideas about your novel as you read it; the questions will help you understand what kind of notes you should be taking. There is a section with suggested work for after you have finished reading. It also gives information about how you could write the first draft of your Study, and ways to check it.

Some general advice if you are starting from scratch - Think about novels you have enjoyed in the past - find something similar. Try to remember what it was that you liked about the novel and talk to your teacher about other novels which are like it. If you have a favourite author, that ’ s even better - you could try this writer ’ s latest novel. You may have a favourite genre - science fiction, war, fantasy .... You may have seen a film or television version of a novel that you really enjoyed and feel you could now read and write about well. Remember, though, that you are writing about the novel and not the film. You may be able to link your choice to something in your own life. This could be an interest in a particular activity, or period in history; it could be a novel which deals with something familiar to you like family life, success or failure, the good and bad experiences we have as we grow up, friendship (or betrayal)..........You might even be looking for a text whose characters lead completely different lives to your own, in totally different settings . Look at the Reading Lists that your teacher will have - ask about particular novels which sound interesting.

Not just the covers, please, although this can give you a good deal of information; read the opening few paragraphs or first chapter. Ask friends or relatives to suggest a book. This can be a good way of getting a truthful picture of what a novel is really like. Above all, choose a novel that you genuinely feel you will enjoy reading. Remember that you can disagree with what you see as the author ’ s point of view, or feel that the story, or some scenes or characters didn ’ t work very well for you, but if you give the impression that you have hated your novel it is unlikely that you will be awarded a very high mark. Finally , the rules say that you must not choose a film, television or radio script; nor can you choose any of the literature you will study in class for Higher English. Equally, you must not write about your Study text in the examination.

We called this booklet a Study Diary deliberately because it is meant to help you through the process a step at a time. It will be no use to you if you wait until you have finished reading your novel before you start to write in it. Use the sections to guide your reading and note taking, stop when you are told to and follow the instructions. You can use the unprinted pages in any way that you like. If you prefer to write your thoughts out in sentences, do so. If you prefer notes, or diagrams, or lists, go ahead. The notes part of your work on your Study will not be graded but must be done - it ’ s part of the course. Your teacher will, no doubt, want to see how you are getting on before the end of the summer term but the majority of the work will probably need to be done over the holiday. Check your list of deadlines to see when it is due to be handed in, completed.

We noted earlier that one of the things we do as we read is to question the text - this is very true at the start of your reading as you try to make sense of what is happening. As well as trying to understand the basics of what actually happens in this part, here are a few of the more interesting questions you might be asking yourself - Where and when is the action set? Remember that the author has chosen to write about a specific time and place for a reason. What general ideas or feelings or images do you connect with this setting - loneliness, danger, excitement, violence, crime, peace, contentment? Is the novel set in the country or in the city? Are we in a rich or poor society? Do the surroundings as they are described in the opening chapter seem normal, or strange in some way? If a specific place is described very carefully and at length, has the author spent so much time on it for a special reason? Do we stay in the same place in this chapter, or move to another setting? How are we told the story? Is the narrator one of the characters (1st Person Narration) or someone else (3rd Person Narration - it ’ s usually safe to think of this as being the author) who knows everything that is going to happen, and can see inside every character ’ s head? What difference does this make?

Are any flashbacks used here? Does the story appear as normal prose, or some other way, like a diary? Does the writing read like speech, with lots of slang, dialect, abbreviations, incorrect punctuation? If so, what difference does this make? Is the mood funny, serious, eerie, sad, aggressive, or something else? What are your initial impressions of the characters? Try to visualise them as real people. Are we given lots of information about characters, or hardly any at all? What do we learn about the backgrounds of the characters? What difference does this make? What do they look like? What impressions of them is the author giving us through these physical descriptions? Do they have any faults or good qualities that you can spot immediately? Are they reliable, do you think? Which of them are we supposed to like or hate immediately, would you say? Do you find the characters believable? Are we meant to laugh at any of them? What are the relationships between them; how do they connect? Can you see any conflicts between characters yet? What seems to motivate them, and make them act in the way that they do? Is there any event which shows what kind of person an individual character is? Can you make any predictions about how they are likely to act in the future?

We noted that anticipating the action was one of the things we do when we read a novel, especially if we have read something by the same author or in the same genre before. At the end of this chapter or section can you predict what is going to happen? Has the writer left us guessing, or is there a strong hint about what is to come? If your novel is a clear example of a particular kind of book, does it match your expectations of what this kind of book should be like so far? Is anything said by the author about the future of the characters? Do any of them make a mistake? Can you say whether the novel will end happily for them, or not? What pictures does the author create with words? At this stage, all you may wish to do is to quote any particular points of description from the book that appeal to you. Remember to note page references and what the description refers to. You might find other questions occurring to you that we haven ’ t thought of here. In any case, you need to write down whatever responses you have had to the first few pages of your novel. We noted earlier that you have a lot of freedom over how you do this - look at the example pages which follow from real Study Diaries, and see the different approaches different pupils have taken. One very important point, though, is to be clear about what evidence you have for the points you are making and where you got it from in the novel.

Although many of the questions you used to help you to think about the first chapter will still be useful, you should concentrate your mind on how the novel is developing , and especially on how your first responses to it might be changing . You will probably find that you are writing less as you go through the novel - concentrate on the main points, but don ’ t forget to keep up. Some questions follow to help you - Were your ideas about what was going to happen next proved to be correct or wrong? What events seem to you to be particularly important? Does the narrator change? Have any new settings been introduced? How might they be important? Were your first impressions about what characters were like as people correct, or have they surprised you in any way? Are there any clearer signs of conflict between characters? Have any of the characters reached a turning point in their lives? Have any important new characters been introduced? What are they like? How do you feel towards the main characters? Have you any ideas on what the theme of the novel might be (the central concern, message, warning, point)?

Keep writing down any quotes you find interesting in some way, and remember to take a note of where you found them and what they refer to. Again, you may find that not all of these questions can be applied to your novel, but be sure that you note clearly where you take your evidence from when you answer them.

Have you been surprised by anything that has happened, or by what a character has done or said? Is the language of the novel unusual in any way? On the following pages you will find some examples of different ways in which you can take notes for your discussion with your teacher. You could decide to use all of them, or only one, or to make notes in your usual way on the lined paper. Make sure you prepare for this discussion, though, and record any advice your teacher may have for you.

Some pupils like to leave their work for a week or so after reading the text for the second time, just to let their ideas settle before going any further with their notes. This can help you return to the text in a fresher frame of mind; don ’ t leave out the steps below, though! Your work from now until you begin to write your Study first draft will focus on three areas - Looking again at your response to your text; trying to see patterns and make points about the book as a whole Deciding on a topic or question so that you can narrow down what you are going to say in your essay and so decide what in your notes will most useful Planning your essay As before your Diary will take you through these steps one at a time. Looking Back At Your Reading You should read your notes over again now. As you read, remember what happened in the novel which caused you to write them in the first place. Can you add anything to them? Is there anything that occurs to you now that perhaps you missed before? Do you still feel your reactions at each point were justified?

To finish, imagine that you are have been given this novel to read by a national newspaper so that you could write a review of it. Your editor will cut your writing if it is over 120 words. Try to sum up your thoughts (in no more than three sentences on each heading) on: Each of the main characters The settings of the novel One crucial event or turning point for characters The ending - did it leave you feeling a bit let down, or not? The style the book is written in The themes - are they relevant? Whether it would appeal to older teenagers Whether it would make a good film In what ways you would recommend the book to others These headings would make a good basis for a talk on your novel. Now, hand in your Diary when you come back to school.

You will find that the amount of help your teacher can provide with this is fairly small, but help can be given with this next important step - your proposals for what you intend to do in your essay. Why? If you try to use all of your notes to write an essay covering everything you have found in reading your novel, you are likely to run into a few problems. Firstly, you probably won ’ t have enough room in your 1400 words maximum for everything. Secondly, it will be more difficult to plan such a large undertaking. Finally, your essay will read as if it doesn ’ t have a point , and is just a series of unconnected thoughts. All this means that we need to decide on a question, topic or title for your essay. Some Ways To Decide Before you talk to your teacher, try to have a suggestion of your own to bring to the discussion. A number of ways of deciding on this suggestion are given below. It may be that a specific topic will have emerged from your reading . As you read your novel you may have found yourself thinking “ ...that would be worth following up ........ ” or something similar. Check with your teacher if this is the case. If no specific aspect or feature has come to your attention, don ’ t despair. Go back to your notes, and ask yourself - what do I seem to be writing most about? This may be a character, a conflict, a theme, setting, whatever.

Is it the plot? The clever structuring of events which keeps you interested, the unusual time sequence, the interweaving of different stories, a twisty ending - all of these aspects might make the basis of a good topic. Perhaps it was the characterisation. There could have been a huge variety of vividly drawn characters, a galaxy of strange and unusual people; maybe the characters were realistic or unreliable, or sad. Maybe they were weird and unpredictable, or just funny...........and so on. Maybe a theme struck you as important, or as being well developed by the author through events and characters. If you are still stuck, consider the genre of the work you are studying. Match up what you find in this novel with what you might expect a novel of this kind to be like . You are really looking for ways in which is a little different . If the novel is science fiction, then perhaps you should direct your attention to the author ’ s creativity in describing new worlds, the opposition of worlds, technology versus mankind, unknown types of evil, time travel, and so on. If the novel is fantasy, consider how the author presents strange creatures, new worlds and societies, new languages, the struggle of good against evil. If the novel is a thriller, horror or adventure story, consider the skill of the plotting, the excitement of the action, or how well the author creates atmosphere and tension.

What did you say to recommend the novel? Who to? What did you remember most clearly about characters? When you discuss your topic with your teacher you will asked to write a few words about what you are going to do in your essay. This is known as your Study Proposal , and we will treat it as part of your planning which is what the next section of your diary is all about. However, now that you know what specific area your essay will deal with, before you go on to planning you should go back to the notes you made. Read them over again and mark which parts seem most relevant to the question or topic you have decided on. These will form the basis of your plan.

It ’ s a good idea to do this in pencil as we have found that plans for this longer type of essay tend to be revised as you go along. Put the exact title or question you have settled on for your essay in the space at the top of the sheet. Now underline the key words . Remember that the essay must be relevant at all times - you are arguing a case , and your task is to prove why you think your ideas about the novel you have read should be taken seriously. You are trying to persuade your reader that if they think about the text in the ways you describe in your essay, then they will understand and appreciate why it is worth reading. In order to succeed in this you need a plan. It is sometimes helpful to think of your essay as having three parts, each with as many or as few sections as you think appropriate - Introduction (Share what you are going to do with your reader) Argument (State your case, back up with evidence, explain) Conclusion (Tie the parts of your argument together) Planning Langholm Academy English Department - Intermediate 2 Study Diary (Novel) Cx[HTQיI L*H!,h"D0eAK3 &* %{)$ I(D9"N?3'1 B*#kuk30s֙YtȈ?:b-|F%Xvw-@WG͌{"NEМHV!g\߸w3Nv;fۡ5D2Ty=xfyOn'qe$=(*x9X9iTQ:XR6?~ϕ_g3 Ԟ'aӿD]k @yx̾W{~\Sw]r4-#Ni'l5Z]G ^+*fQ (+|0)se['t {A˲=zƿO~WOn}&ݫSS>ZgU~xSx|?՗ڛ{t}'7YoO6HOߛߢ@z~@Microsoft Office Document Image Writer 11.03.2175.00 2008:01:17 11:08:56   :   (16H2~/$ 1` 1{Nxm^EֶP^[UXj!D)ҖKj vݶ@PרP ALPb@OJ"!$D@Z (4Ѥwٻy] =;39sΙ3/6B_mKo&)lewa~H)!=}Yv`aC&Xg&0伊C?CK p<DOe%~W&-R*wLgJGT؜Ǎ,P=djEu*=Q=9:1C;8 n#|+ >Ei:!}&OM g[~ t .3/ vSaǝd"h?&>ӃBvhe*yĿ>da,U+@.?YX%;vk(jhs¥JE"?ߚsxAV<-')=1giGh񂺙臶ȳV !vhP_t|~/4K:v`^)/)ܦ^74xq/q?ܣ(ݭr"jyi+ bDx mE%?Gi: oȷY UZ6co^cWIǷ L<V>"C^#zk2$:.+;ԫ8 ֌"A6& 4O}3`*?˄-EugQDZ(fȔo>/* =7W;D.f(V/ \+,TWLyHsBO wѮ M$n|i1qkOr_ۮh~D^_p q4[(z; jfH3 Ht?YwT)exО ܞx2-iʗ>$LLyC{kXE!w߯o w-5} 3O=Ll 2X=TsǮiR]m8WhiP;2v1['Mxs7 ^{e8\sbGDZLecw;v5^HZ?c$.tAKleL[)yp>xAײX|wG|:#UOpWu B"&>eC,͍ç^G@HыX}Pc}X?ݶC?z>&){vno.(S>Bvi4ޖ:8j*N?nwz|`71P)5V1/1/Iݼ-yDz,>/=ڔv2W!(,ۂs>1s`tOT wpu_4qU0 7/)]uS1h.1 Cԡ.mC ԙ%z\Gq}zz_9G|_rp𯓁uN=W v-.o:};ܑ{bNyge2OKcOG=O'c yFqIבDL|-7nYb.ۻ.'F;Hc{?ۉi؈g$V蟣ssn @w=GL=sʴID?ݎ4ohiy/H}?AχV{}dvݔ?<{,&ȇ _Z(@/ Ɖ7NJ>=k%22TwmFi1kJTjL܊Acl~:D;]V+x-^3.c0 ^=}Y:X2c 2vdАFKnLb O ?ZV?i~AIRd_Rp[lomclАb^u6:}aߊdU8LkR N?xfuB{"9 8)[)n>H&ngT[0~pjvlő{޳[U2ܮv̗+l+dK8kD[~ާpka ۔|V[*BɂLWV K/UScoϋ7RKɯ;O͓gE[rZ_P;qc w<;./ɌUudZ ޞ;lJ彊wcpoZ2QhZ-ŵwH>|BNhȉ_{q_#kŇP/}-݋ oHaWiU%`q?b<@9Z4oN\|}<({lHK4ק:x>Mw_6K:xYG4? {|1a!.> .d}v\=hZzQ*dV8|N>Ѹ 6)]gT[>Cwp9~o;C9=荥@c,_; , {RИSJ׷H) ](/~thwn"x_Nw|37}-w܉6@gLN `C:4G=918Ӌ:u*;&ق~TX:;*h?Jף;C=|miO~Ƿ"\OigR-:%ʭd ØL؆]CKp]7=#u]R)}yR_|\>mweۛ:pRKˤf Q|rOhD?| ߔ 5Ov X:?yYe QJYm\25e/+n77QhK'#nOaD :DG>)syH ~8z~'eo_o=&4q, 18EfRRӑsd,).?À#ap+D㷱blnًoofzX8 7Xr4 |c)Eq6$`y(Zi~i:}7-A9Y>ӆt֎2uߡt>9.zqYd鋇q/?;,,Planning Your First Section (Introduction) This is probably the easiest part to do, because there are a few elements which really should be in it if it is to be successful: author ’ s name title of the novel key words of the question reasons why you chose the text an indication of how you feel about it some information on what the story is about general hints at what your essay will cover, ending with a specific mention of your first main point Plan out your first paragraph relating to your novel now. You can use more than one Crowsfoot for a single paragraph if you want. Planning Your Next Sections (Argument) Earlier you marked the parts of your notes which were most relevant to your topic or question. These will be useful now as you plan out your next few sections. One way to do this is to have, in each section (or Crowsfoot), the following structure - Statement Your main point or argument Evidence What evidence there is in the text to back up your statement Explanation An explanation of why you believe that the above is relevant to your topic Think about your statements first. What in your notes could be turned into a statement that is relevant? Once you have decided, NUMBER THESE IN THE ORDER YOU WILL USE THEM. Often, you will find that the order flows naturally from your first main point, but if not, group points together which Langholm Academy English Department - Intermediate 2 Study Diary (Novel) Ex[lTUמ3vQc%%DH" c4!j'P!"UDT h(hI(FHT/1^OiB3'TgZ{/9{2sK̬т O0THsھҾc+ܪ{Aƍwkܢ\^ב:_QDp"=W0/]tsvJg. i5'L|!Իjzzr;׿ѸwT?3FDmzcZ7E>Ts})_^ߡK/O_1gcwϦ{9[7^yɩs'I $1&H*T @:Microsoft Office Document Image Writer 11.03.2175.00 2008:01:17 11:08:56  'p ''(16b121/'1Z-B{%x]]U퇝Rg3Ha j-tHQ1r;s;t:wvڤ1 $h>F ЄcjIEswiSxʚZkZkϹ4B5B8Rx ?c!d|5F-!%2!FJV6 *nh㘁cxyIG$N}ëvO#]~@lr:o~WmXpcd6177mjk 6v 6p.c|C<)zMHr`S:gyo!,\]^)Tﭘ+yɃv/+3-цbv1Nj4f$$cʺ!INMlcǷt&4lCslhkYk;ViYʭS?vSG2Iw7}`5\u}Y3c/n}|x'S1:=ϧ.

This, in any case, is something to talk to your teacher about if you get stuck. Now, ask yourself what evidence (a quotation, or detail from the text, or even simply a really strong personal opinion about a character or event) you have for each statement. Make a note of this on the correct Crowsfoot. Next, how does all this need to be explained so that it is entirely relevant to your topic or question? Look at this example of the first few Crowsfeet in a plan for a real essay - this seems like a good start.

Your teacher is not allowed to give you much help; what we can do is to give examples of essays that have been successful in the past and agree on what is good (and sometimes not so good) about particular bits of them. Hopefully, you will be able to recreate the good qualities they show in your own style. What The Examiner Is Looking For We can do this by looking at the Performance Criteria and Indicators of Excellence for Specialist Studies in literature; a copy of these also appears in your profile, remember. The Performance Criteria look like this- (a) Understanding In relation to the key aspect(s) nominated for study, the review demonstrates secure understanding of key elements, central concerns and significant details of the text(s). (b) Analysis The review explains some of the ways in which aspects of structure / style / language contribute to meaning / effect / impact. (c) Evaluation The review reveals engagement with the text(s) or aspects of the text(s) and stated or implied evaluation of effectiveness, substantiated with detailed and relevant evidence from the text(s). (d) Expression Structure, style and language, including appropriate use of some critical terminology, are deployed to communicate meaning clearly and develop a line of thought which is generally relevant to purpose; spelling, syntax and punctuation are consistently accurate.

(a) Understanding This can be shown in two main ways. The first is to make accurate quotations which are relevant. The second is to make more general points which relate to the whole novel. You will be showing an understanding of the central concerns of the text whenever you discuss theme , or make a general statement of what you think the author ’ s own opinions of the characters or the society he has created are. Whenever you highlight a particular feature of the novel (setting, characterisation, and so on) which you think is crucial to the argument of your essay because the author has handled it so well, you will be showing an understanding of key elements of the text. (b) Analysis Here you must make comments on the style and structure of your text which show that you understand that how the author has written what he or she has to say has affected how you have understood it . Your notes will be very useful here. Look at the quotations you wrote down as you were going through your novel, or for the points where you noted a twist in the plot. How could you use any of these? Use relevant examples to support the main points you are making.

You can ’ t do this unless you add personal response to your essay and this is something you already know from your Standard Grade work. However, it is something that will need to be much more strongly visible throughout your Study; the SQA have given you more space and time to do this than an average Standard Grade essay allows. For more help on this, see the section called Putting in More Of Yourself . (d) Expression Really, the points made in the last two sections above relate very closely to the area of expression. Good expression in this type of work means three things - Using the correct critical words to write in the style the examiner expects Having a line of argument, a series of linked points Making sure your paragraphing, spelling, punctuation and sentences are correct These issues are dealt with in the sections on The Importance of Good Linkage , Staying Relevant , How a Good Essay Might Continue, and Checking Your First Draft On Your Own.

For my Specialist Study I read “ Of Mice and Men ” by John Steinbeck. I chose it because I found that I could understand very well how the characters were feeling. I really liked this novel, which is about two friends who get into trouble and have to run away to a ranch. The story ends unhappily for them both. Because I liked the characters a lot, I am going to discuss what they are like in my Study and I will start with George and Lennie, the two friends. You should know that the title of this person ’ s study was - Why Characters are Likeable in “ Of Mice and Men ” by John Steinbeck. Now what would an examiner make of this? Look back to the section on Planning to see what we said about good Introductions - does this have everything it should have? Take a minute to decide.

Its two main characters, George Milton and Lennie Small, dream of their own place in world which always seems to be against them, but eventually their simple hopes die. As I read the novel I noticed how easy it was to relate to Steinbeck ’ s characters; he manages to get my sympathy for many of them so that I found that I was willing them to succeed whilst knowing in my heart that they would not. Most of the other characters in the novel also fail to get what they desire from life; why is it that we find such hopeless characters so likeable? The answer to this question, I believe, has its beginning in the strong friendship between George and Lennie. This introduction does the same as the example given before, but in a better way. The writer is more creative when outlining the story - Steinbeck ’ s “ Of Mice and Men ” is concerned with broken dreams. Its two main characters, George Milton and Lennie Small, dream of their own place in world which always seems to be against them, but eventually their simple hopes die. There is a thoughtful personal response which says a lot about how the writer has been affected by Steinbeck ’ s characters - As I read the novel I noticed how easy it was to relate to Steinbeck ’ s characters; he manages to get my sympathy for many of them so that I found that I was willing them to succeed whilst knowing in my heart that they would not.

The answer to this question, I believe, has its beginning in the strong friendship between George and Lennie. She leads us into her essay proper here, with a clear reference to the first point she will discuss in her essay - the friendship. This is a much better introduction, but it doesn ’ t give much more information than the first. It is more stylish . You may wish to have this kind of model in your mind when you come to write your essay - your teacher will have more to show you. In any case, it is this combination of what you say and how you say it that counts. Now try writing your own Introduction , and let your own personality come out.

The next step, obviously, is to continue to write your essay according to your plan. You may find that you think of other things to say which are not on your plan as you write - this is a normal part of the process. However, keep to the Statement Evidence Explanation structure on your Crowsfeet. From here on until your concluding paragraph it is a matter of writing as fully as you can about the points you have already identified, using the evidence you have already found. Here are a few pieces of advice which may help you in this. The Importance Of Good Linkage Linking words and phrases must be used. It is particularly important that you use a linking word or phrase at the start of each paragraph from now on in your essay , although of course you will need them from time to time in other places too. To introduce evidence for a point you are making for example, for instance, an illustration of this is, To add ideas which are somehow similar moreover, furthermore, likewise, too, again, besides, similarly, in the same way additionally, on the same point To add ideas which somehow contrast but, and yet, although, however, nevertheless, still, on the other hand, even so, in contrast, nonetheless Langholm Academy English Department - Intermediate 2 Study Diary (Novel) xhUeǟszg.$6d5puE!V3eզd&Vd9S_$((B *$NKK# KYJ)9v;w=]̙gffwE?=g< >DϸfUl76_\aO)d9 ;YtָkC^kv7tYfzKvN؝ΰ]ݔz -arsWHe'>ty䝪#+]n[М=) fjgUfSd'nϿ?joA;Qߗ ]sѾMStz,osF2 ~ Ai^9ykEo8n&#P G1u=aO/66jtW[kEpxl#zl.[rv[b`Q4@'POK5:}T'QƮ &R_u@k Gy[Kuv%Rb⼓sy\Ώ}+r*}.5bq1__YXWֽlWo1I|u7OWIb']_.D|c[2&!P'@Zi H+V YYk Microsoft Office Document Image Writer 11.03.2175.00 2008:01:17 11:08:56  DU@ s4U.;ʯg+"<yMV4%gedԟmOJ[ 9p~O)dhyloN1Hw/ʺu2iyJyԡ߾"?S *k,]fK?4+iUuu-Y7Sl "IC9^*wm3UC^zgSIJkC_RK "3ГIx|٣^UgƢmIS١ h%{6mcnC$ݘ+g)1W\gV|dlѷjӝ;wZNWҏDQvtlu| :;!)__DoG_u s$t U[ȥV2iҀP~k پ݊k3ûGQ+Zײ1=>^I٬lt݋~hN~`jʛ+{'6ۜa<ǧ\J7e+],{Dw϶\ۉ,DxPh`1lm"v/A~irI:(+?-h+Dãv(EU_h&+9tK(-P>tPQNB:1,r%N*:E;#GugEb"OxOځQ|:Xg+L9|I9Z{r|Jt$&nT)b<ܠ#zNU"9:1ʾGq5~7֛+!~ĥ#:;3/~sbÕhxB >Ѷuzy`<Ќ_xǺϝ4<0sZj9юUM~X8ǃP1# R]N:"%봾u h0"N>l;,~cwa[B>G?R,1.R[|M$hjꏊ&9?Ïrw J}'6ꇵt_wm:0wíwQY]Kvx^)gֺ\jEiNct,k)+)sX|WtgwIGt}FWxJ&] 5ܰ7sύZR{-]/.ך7E ZiX*dO*^Kpy˩Wѽg Udw7<10J1O%QNq!!xȂף:նuuOAݾIۦ}!O2';T _R[D&5w\a D3cTb#qIQR_ClԿK~k<ꇸz_:Ҧy":~ooJ*hM~ 67d߲Qs} O%_3s.$]f.8&'1@|p'o:i[`)wqs 9ϯt."zPϾh^lRjsxZ>AJJu}MS#-Z5㙛7X(i8H#Ehn@4+x/wy3ǽg=H:]=9")ǵs}Pa0>S ƶ]=?

Staying Relevant This is a part of the linkage that your essay needs to have. As well as showing that you can link the various ideas in your work together you must stick closely to your original proposals for your essay summarised in your title or question. The easiest way to ensure that you are clearly sticking to the original purpose of your essay is to repeat the key words of your question or title which you identified before you wrote your plan and highlighted on your Crowsfeet Planning sheet. You will remember that we have stressed the Statement Evidence Explanation model for each of your sections, and experience has shown that the Explanation part is the best place for you to add these key words. Don ’ t overdo it; if you are sticking to your plan, relevance will often be automatic. Don ’ t be frightened to be very specific, creative and direct about this, either; phrases like “ I began by noting how effective I thought characterisation was in this novel - this is an excellent example . . “ go down really well.

If you use phrases such as - “ It seems to me that this metaphor is effective since. . . . . . . . . ” “ This description struck me as unusual because . . . . . . . . . ” “ I would suggest that here . . . . . . . . . . . . . ” “ In my opinion this event shows . . . . . . . . . . . . ” then this will be a clear signal to your examiner that you are involved with the text. You should include several of these phrases, of which there are a huge number of variations, in your essay. Getting Technical; Using Quotations We have said that one of the most important things you have to do in your essay is make comments on style and structure. Your teacher will have given you some support sheets which discuss in detail some of the literary terms you have to know and be able to use in your essay. You must make sure that you read these sheets and talk to your teacher about anything which is unclear, as on this part of your work your teacher can only give you a very small amount of help. Once you have read these support notes, when you put this knowledge alongside that you have gained from your reading of the text you will be ready to begin to discuss particular features in your essay - in other words, give and explain evidence for the main points you have to make . You can give evidence by discussing one feature of the text in detail from your own knowledge, but the main way you can do this is by quoting from your novel. Quotation is only useful if it is supporting the points you are making. If you quote appropriately and accurately this does, however - Allow you to back up what you say about the text with evidence Show the examiner that you know the text well, and have understood it Give you a chance to comment in detail on the style of the text Langholm Academy English Department - Intermediate 2 Study Diary (Novel) x{he.xȐ rJlM! f5k$8dq˺P)\0مL"Vb1+-ȁm(D lc}9[GD3>ݞ;̼l4ȸ/xLt>UYLҟ>Snެ#MOŒ焓qoIԼE3-ƽJ*p,2|R,9dpxOI:EbuŽ#ŭ#"_h ?#ۃ%CaL6ҜAe&Ȯ  imWXwDHgpᯊʈZW5+}Y[?^ώBvq;Ʋuf,O{m1< qmFVZڐҫ\#{yP+!G)H!~.i6džhWn/# r2~wgYRqz16w8}_ 6 y8k?y'+a ;Z[&M=\."o"_|5|]@.7dU:OhOzYᵎ܄TTGB^Ȯ+vUcwNkތ<?f672 =:P5W|;mo/թ~*dfma^w ք1,P/Ur*=^@߉Bj){*{󻑹sXOk?YØjrb2$RR>1{M6++Tmmhs-z}k_ jUK8Vρ~n ݣ5GK vaQg:/(>*ܽ&b*T"uow۴`<[ /K@s1v} Tڅc^*g]emoM5փΧm鹁p><jʳY" )+|̹A=TCuo OLY<m݁lB{ws6|j/Tq:\|dLw:&˶;=||Td;`v||;Mg5ޛw>_NUw7d<(| (tЁB (t`;RS@:?

Firstly, teachers and pupils always have to work together. Secondly, your teacher ’ s job is to help you learn to spot and correct your own mistakes (not just in your writing, either) otherwise there ’ s no hope for you when you leave school. Thirdly, your teacher will not be able to help you in controlled conditions when you write your final draft. Fourthly, in the end it ’ s your essay and your course - you have to take responsibility for it eventually. So, here ’ s a list of elements to check after you have written your first draft based on common errors in essays like this we have noticed over the years. 1.

Technical Mistakes These errors will affect the quality of your pass. Take the advice below. Always write about the novel in the present tense - “ Lennie is a sad character ” Never use abbreviations like it ’ s, isn ’ t, can ’ t Never use the pronoun you - use I or we instead, or go for phrases like “ it is evident here that . . . . “ Make sure you quote correctly the exact words you select from the novel Vary your personal response words - be as creative as you like to develop what you say beyond “ It seems to me ….. I believe…. ” . This really is something that can make a big difference to your pass. Check these aspects carefully. Now, hand in your first draft in by the due date, and WELL DONE.
