Revising for English Literature - taking baby steps towards success.

Sometimes, you need to split your revision into smaller chunks, or have some tasks that will take you shorter amounts of time. Therefore, on this post, you will find a range of tasks that you can do as revision for your English Literature exam. Most of these shouldn't take you longer than 20 minutes, so if you're struggling to get started and a cup of tea or cleaning your bedroom seems much more appealing, start with one of these. It's short and you'll feel more successful afterwards!!

1) Write down definitions of the following terminology: simile, metaphor, alliteration, oxymoron, rhetorical question, rhyme, rhyme scheme.

2) Re read the short stories.

3) Make a summary of the chapters in Of Mice and Men

4) Write down, from memory, key quotes from Of Mice and Men

5) Look at the targets you have been given on previous pieces of exam work. Are you making progress towards them? Re write your answers based on any targets that you don't feel you are progressing towards.

Good luck
