Content notes
Content notes are the questions, learning activities, extra reading, and notes you should have completed in class when studying a visual or oral text. These texts will be discussed in general terms and you will have to apply these suggestions to your chosen text. If your notes are not detailed enough or have sections missing you will struggle in the exam. Your notes should be kept in a folder, clearly labelled with appropriate headings, page references for quotations and other important details.
Key points to study:
