Basically what the title says, I have an English Paper 1 exam on Monday, and our class doesn't know the topic sentence (obviously), so how do I basically prepare for this?

Also, does anyone where I can get links on Discovery for The Tempest?

If you're pressed for time, just know quotes and potential thesis statements that can be adapted to the question. It's probably too late to memorise an essay (or even create thematic paragraphs).

and lol, there's heaps of links to discovery for the tempest on the internet haha

to be short and too the point, cover all aspects of the syllabus in your essay

it's gonna result in a really loooooong essay when it's more crucial to use the relevant material for the essay question. what would a 2000 word essay using the all key words of the syllabus achieve if some bits aren't linked backed to the question

and i'll retract my statement: OP, create like 8 or so paragraphs on broad themes pertaining to the rubric, but don't memorise an essay

Memorising the essay isn't a probably for me, I've done it before with the same amount of time I have now, but the problem is creating one with no thesis and not much notes.

Also do I write many thesis's or just one? How do I create one and speak about discovery from the rubric?
