From what to say, how to say it, what quotations to revise using flashcards / flash cards, or even putting into a mind map. I then show you an example of an essay plan, talking through strategies to cope in an exam with an extract and how to organise your ideas in the best order.
Techniques talked about in this video include symbolism, simile, epistrophe, pathos, syllables, metaphors, verbs, euphemism and incomplete sentences.
