While knowledge and understanding carry 25% of the marks as per marking criteria, the skill of evaluating and interpreting the literary features also carry 25% of marks. However, many students focus little to less on this aspect. Though some students carry good knowledge of the literary features, they do not effectively blend them in their essay as required. It is important that you get rewarded more for this quality. This module focuses on two aspects. First, you enhance your skills of applying 80+ literary terms that are important in poems, dramas and novels. Second, we train you and enhance the skills of incorporating these features in essay writing at two levels- explicit and implicit. In this module, we demonstrate how to do it and you will learn these crucial skills for the exam.
