Hi all,

Just want to share with you that you can now get a diversified range of Literature Guides, Lesson Plans, Activities, Notes and Test Preparation for most of the Literature titles used in our schools at

https://readpbn.com/E-Books-Literature-Study-Guides

They are a local online stone with really a wide range of guides. Check them out, you might fall upon something you have been looking for.

Has anyone bought the Test Preparation for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas? Are the questions and answers similar to the local schools exam format?

Frankly, I think this kind of technique is applied in Primary school already. To do this in Secondary school will be abit late.

Indeed!


Actually, in today's context, me thinks those words are more suitable for use in lower primary or even kindergarten level compositions, considering the fact that parents are already sending their kids to creative writing TUITION classes at K1 already. In fact, I am even inclined to say that this list can even be considered archaic. I mean, my P2 son is already using words like 'reprimand' and 'frantically' in his compositions while the N2 boy is using words like 'activate' and 'scrumptious' in his speech

I won't dispute your opinion because opinions are subjective.

And in case you haven't noticed, this is a thread on literature, created some years back. The list above was specifically targeted at the general novice audience, not those who have had experience in literature or are adept in using chim adjectives to express their analysis, if they even understand how to analyze in the first place, no offence intended. It's already a challenge trying to analyze a book or passage artfully.

And just in another case you are not in the know, I am not aware of any conventional primary schools offering literature as a subject. But if I am wrong, then I would appreciate some tips from you as to how to approach literature in an introductory yet chim manner. After all, this is a forum where we are all here to share and learn from one another, without prejudice.

Have a great day :celebrate:
