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:

Hi,

Students today find literature difficult because of only one reason. Yes, and the one reason is, they do not read enough. During my time, I used to devour books like nothing. Today, sadly all I see is kids on their phone 24/7. Am I going over the board? I'm not saying all of them but the majority.

One of the ways we can help students having difficulty in Literature is to provide them with various external materials such as guides, lesson plans etc. One can find plenty of free materials online, however, how extensive these free materials are is subjective.

We can also very good and solid materials prepared by experts in the field of Literature, but, they are going to cost and some of them cost quite high. However, if the contents are good, then, why not give our kids the extra boost they need?

Such materials can be found at https://www.readpbn.com/literature-study-guides. The collection is incredible and they are written by professors and experts in the field of Literature. Now, they have even added Hunger Games guides.

I would expect that you can buy TYS at Popular? And the next 2 questions would be best answered by her teachers. Sorry I can't help with the rest.

Hi Slmkhoo,


Thanks for your comment.
So far I can’t find Literature TYS in popular.
