Link to great Postmodernism revision post by Pete Fraser

HERE IT IS - VERY USEFUL, SO READ IT - CLICK HERE!


Also, don't forget revision basics like:
Knowing your texts inside out: 
Make sure you have a good range of texts across at least three different media forms 
Watch them all again. Watch key scenes again, and again, and again
Constantly link them postmodern features or as a reflection on our postmodern society
Discuss the key issues with parents, siblings, pets or anyone who will listen
Organise your notes – condense them down again and again
Create spider grams – texts to theories, theories to texts - like we did in class with the theorists at the centre, create detailed ones for your texts with key examples and links to pomo concepts
Memorise textual detail: examples, quotes and key scenes
Write practice essays
If you give them to me, I will mark them
Set up revision sessions between yourselves

POSTMODERNISM REVISION SESSION...

...is still on for Tuesday 2.10 - Room 101.
I have heard a rumour that Miss Hill is baking brownies so there is at least one good reason to be there!
...note the postmodern brownie stacking technique - clearly challenging mainstream ideology.
