Super Alice:

My son got back the first Literature test and he failed. Anyone can advised how to study literature?

Did he misinterpret the poem or prose given?

There's no real way to study for unseen Lit questions, but your DS can try to familiarise himself with literary terms and the common symbols and imagery employed by writers.

For novels, the students have to know the text and memorise the quotations to support their analyses.

My DS school using The Clay Marble. And saw that the teacher indicate that on his ans sheet not enough evidence. Not sure how to help him.

Super Alice,


Here Are some links to the study guide. There is also a workbook with exercises.

I suggest you print these out before the link becomes inaccessible.

Hi super Alice,

Seems from your post that your son may not have provided quotations from the book to support his answer.

I have not read clay marble so I cannot refer to the book.

But let's say I take a generic eg, like if your son is required to analyze a character from the book, assuming he points out that the character is hardworking, he needs to explain in what way is he hardworking and quote
a statement from the book to support his analysis.
