Mod B Help (1 Viewer)

[shumaker]

How exactly do I prepare for Mod B? My prescribed text is TS Eliot and I am sort of at a loss on how to prepare for it and I think it my weakest module of the lot. Are there any resources that will provide a comphrensive understanding of the poems?

Summarise each poem
Make sure you get the key concepts and ideas
Learn key quotes

That's my plan

U probably already know but wherever u can try to link to Eliot's context especially stuff like the urbanisation, the nihilistic zeitgeist of Europe after WW1 etc. coz our teachers hv said that markers look fondly upon this stuff
My class feels like its gonna be an extract Q this year from either Prufrock/Preludes/Rhap coz they havent given a specific extract Q in a couple yrs (last one was Hollow Men 2020 I believe) so just incase wouldn't hurt to know how go about that
If u want jeddle on Youtube has done a bit of unpacking of the poems they're a good resource to use to understand mod b a little more (also other mods if u want)
But Dw ur gonna do amazing either way

Here's a list of words I made if u wanna make some final touches to poem analysis could be good to see if you can just include them anywhere to enrich ur analysis:

Also dont forget it's a mod which needs critic quotes (ngl a lotta ppl have said they make up critic quotes but it would seem kinda harder to make up quotes spontaneously about an idea rather than memorising them right!?!)

my teacher told me critic quotes show your "appreciation"which she said comes from research and reading. I think theres something abt this in the rubric, it goes something like: "to develop their(your) own intepretation of the text based on evidence from research and reading." I always thought "research and reading" meant critics articles too. Now I'm confused-

idk man the senior markers I've been talking to said that whenever they come across a critic quote, they just skip past it bc it doesn't add nor does it detract from the student's analysis, ur just wasting time and space that u could've used to answer the actual question bc to them, ur relying on someone else's analysis to support ur own. u would be showing ur 'appreciation' thru ur analysis
