For each topic,
- find evidence from the text and note where it appears in the play (act,scene)
- pick out quotations to explode/analyse
- try to learn some of these quotations
- Consider how it links to the context or to Shakespeare’s purpose
You could make a mind map for each topic and tick each time you look back at this mind map. Don’t just reread the mind map every time; try to recreate it from memory or explode the quotations again.
Try to include some timed essay writing in your revision. You can invent questions like this:
- Explore how Shakespeare presents … in this extract (choose any significant extract – these are probably the ones you spent most time on in class)
- Explain the importance of … elsewhere in the play.
