Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with English Literary Studies

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• Close reading: evidence, inference and interpretation
• Narrative voice, focalisation and reliability
• Structure, sequence and the distribution of information
• Diction, imagery and the patterns of figurative language
• Tone, irony and the gap between statement and implication
• Characterisation, dialogue and relationships in prose
