Exam Post Mortem

Exams have been marked. Things to note.
  • -please know what stage conventions are
  • Modern Drama is Death of a Sales man. Many of you failed this section in the exam. You have to compare Shakespeare to Death of a Salesman and Clear Light of Day is to be answered on its own. Clear Light of Day is a Post Colonial text.
  • Know what Dramatic Techniques are. If you are going to choose the questions at least have 4 examples of the techniques that are being used, and NAME them.
  • We ALL know the story line of the plays, and novel. Do not rehash everything. Tie it in to what the questions are asking.
  • Make sure you have a good introduction, and conclusion.
  • Make up your mind which point of view Clear light of Day is told in, and stay constant with that decision. Is it Bim or is it Tara?
  • If you don't know what the question is asking you , DON'T DO IT!!!!
  • What ever is your position at the beginning of the essay, please stay with it to the end.
I will be sending you some other notes to assist in your revision.
