Memorise essays? (1 Viewer)

[dumNerd]

Hey, I'm about to do my second English in class essay on English. It's on Macbeth. I was wondering whether I should just memorize:
1. Quotes/techniques and their analysis+memorized introduction (way to introduce themes)+thesis statements for every body parapgram

2. Memorized introduction + memorised body paragraphs for each theme (got 100% last in class when I did this but took a load of work )

Just looking to get into a habit of one of these don't want to be constantly switching methods

Do you know what the question is?

Nope? Do we know the possible questions in English Advanced for HSC?

In that case remember your tee tables. This way in the exam you can create your thesis and conclusion matching the question. No I don't think so it's an exam so questions are unseen.

I thought the new syllabus and new whatevers are discouraging memorised essays? Can anyone confirm?

Absolutely, the new syllabus can specifically give you a question about certain themes or ideas to ensure you don't prememorise essays. Best way to prepare is know your quotes well, be able to adapt your ideas and read through the syllabus to make sure you are prepared for whatever question they give you on the day.
