Focus on how their actions and decisions reflect broader themes. o Themes and Context: Revise the central themes explored in each text (e.g., love, conflict, identity, social issues) and understand how these relate to the historical, cultural, or social context in which the work was written. o Quotes and Analysis: Be familiar with key quotes from the texts that illustrate major themes or character traits. Be prepared to analyze these quotes and explain their significance in context. 2. Films: o Director’s Techniques: Understand the directorial choices (e.g., cinematography, soundtrack, editing) and how they contribute to the overall impact of the film. Be able to analyze specific scenes and discuss their relevance to the themes. o Plot and Characters: Review the key plot points and character development.

Essay Writing: o Structured Responses: Practice writing clear, structured essays with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
