  1. The thing you must always remember when studying a novel in English in Year 10 is: • You do not simply “read” the novel and try to remember “what happens in” the novel!  you must ANALYSE the language style and narrative structure and form of the novel.

  2. How do you do this???(… how do you “analyse” a text?) • You INVESTIGATE the novel • You explore the text closely… and pick-out(just like in Find-a-Word puzzles) the language forms and features used by the author. • So – the one thing you simply have to learn (and understand) is the names and function of all the different Language Forms and Features(LFF)! • You have to know: • the technical names of each LFF (Language Form and Feature) • you have to know which LFF is which - and… • you have to understand why each one is used (what effect does each one have on “meaning” something?).
