The studying of Advanced English can encompass a variety of approaches; it is very easily tailored to a student's learning style. The basics of studying and creating study notes for the course, however, should include: - Making summaries of the plot of the texts, with different characters highlighted in different colours. A more advanced version might have concepts and themes highlighted. - Points about the themes and concepts explored by the composer in a text. - Points about each major character. These can include personal responses to each character and their character arc / journey. - Points about the context of each text and the impact of contextual concerns on what is in the text. - Points about how these ideas are conveyed (techniques). Better notes would be evaluative about the techniques. - Points about the “why” of the text – providing speculation as to why the texts have been composed and perhaps speculate on possible audience reception of the works - Points about how the texts fit into each module’s guiding set of ideas as well as those in the Area of Study. - Points about your thesis for the Area of Study and how it relates to your text and the chosen other related texts. - Practice past questions and hand these in to teachers, as well as peer mark them. - Look at samples of student work where available.
