In studying for this final, I will break each subject up into a day to fit other classes in too. If I do a little each day, I will learn more than cramming it all in, in just two days. The subjects I will study are Macbeth, Poetry, Literary Analysis, Research, Wordly Wise, and Nervous Conditions. To make it easier, I will probably go in order of how we learned it.
Monday: Literary Analysis
To study for this, I will go to the Norton pages on Literary Analysis and annotate. Going through my notes and looking back on my past paper will help, too. While looking at my Literary Analysis, it would help a lot to look at what my weaknesses were so that I could change it on the essay. I may need to take an hour and a half to study this, or whenever the information sinks into my brain.
Tuesday: Research
To study for how to correctly "research," I can look back on my Global Issues Paper. I can look in the Norton book and take notes on how to research, paraphrase, and cite correctly. Studying for the research part won't be too hard since it is straight forward. I could spend an hour on studying this.
Wednesday: Nervous Conditions
Nervous Conditions is going to take up most of my studying for English. I will probably start off studying the questions for each chapter. Second, I would look back on notes. I could make notecards for the postcolonial literature characteristics, social setting, psychological setting, characters, theme, and the reason for the order of the book.I will probably set aside 2-3 hours to do this.
Thursday: Poetry
Studying for poetry, I will start at school. First I need to go to Dr. deGravelles and make sure all my definitions of the terms are correct. Once I figure that out, I can make notecards for all the terms, memorize how the meter works, study how to read a poem and TP-CASTT, and annotate different poems in our poem books. I should probably annotate one of them at tutorial so I can go to dr. Degravelles and make sure I annotated it right. This will take me a half an hour at school and 2-3 hours at home.
Friday: Macbeth
To study for Macbeth, I will go over my drama notes, and all the annotations I wrote down. I will make notecards for the characteristics of drama, and words that come along with Shakespeare plays. I will study the theme and create a plot diagram. Making the notecards and studying will all take me about 3 and a half hours.
Monday: Everything
On Monday I will review everything that I have studied for this exam. This is my only exam on Tuesday, so I can take as much time as I want. Since I have already made Wordly Wise cards and will have already taken a quiz on them, I just need to review the words until I know them backwards and forwards. I can't write down a set time for how long I will study Monday, because it depends on how well I know each subject from studying the other days.
Thanks for reading and good luck on your exams!!~Taylor
