Hey English 12,
Some useful links for you:
Student Samples – more extensive than what we saw in class
Exam specifications – more info about the readings, list of terms, question terms
All these are worth spending some time with ESPECIALLY the practice exams.
Some synthesis essay tips (from another Burnaby teacher)
There are various other teacher/school websites with tips, advice, etc. Some of it is better than others, so be thoughtful as you peruse the advice. They are usually written for a teacher’s students so may use acronyms or ways of thinking that are unfamiliar to you. That’s fine.
It’s helpful to study with friends who have other English teachers. Everyone preps their classes differently and has somewhat different advice. What your friend can show/tell you might be more helpful that my materials, and vice versa.
I may update this with more stuff as time passes so you may want to check back. Good luck with your studying!
