How to make English notes? (1 Viewer)

[swagmeister]

Currently I'm thinking that for each text I will do:

-background/context as well as purpose and form/medium
-relation to unit e.g. people, power and politics would be the political views in the text etc.
-themes/ideas based each aspect of the syllabus and quotes as well as their techniques for each theme
-characters including an analysis and key quotes for each
-thesis and paragraph bank based on themes
-notes as I go through the whole text on events, writing style, quotes/techniques, character's feelings etc. that I will later categorise

And for the related text similar except identifying similarities and differences between the texts in relation to ideas as well.

Not sure if this is how I should be taking notes for English? I didn't take any note in prelim but I think it would help me. Anybody have any thoughts on how to make notes for English?

sample for you

instead of rote-learning essays, know your quotes, techniques and the relevant themes/questions they can be used, as well as strong thesis statements.

BOS doesn't let me upload .docx files which is just silly because it should, so I have zipped it...

Ok yup so I think I get the general idea, notes on context as well as thesis and quotes based on themes. Thanks so much for the help!
