Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Looking for patterns within the language makes analysis more perceptive.
- Having an awareness of the text as a whole enables a more detailed analysis.
- Analytical paragraphs must begin with a point that focuses on the writer's intention, rather than a single feature.
- Offering alternative or additional interpretations can develop an analysis.
Common misconception
That spotting lots of different features makes a good analysis.
Simply spotting a feature is too superficial. The best analysis will say a lot about little. Being able to develop multiple comments on a single feature, creates a much better more in-depth analysis.
