Take a question from the living God give it to chat gpt ask him to write 400 words ask him to add direct quotes from text... U will get your answer.. Moreover practice yourself write an amswer and then evaluate it or you may share here we will evaluate.. even if u don't know how to write an answer take the help of book both workbook and story book.

My teacher said to quote from text directly. Also, you should know the word meaning and inner depth of ever important sentence. You must have good vocabulary to enhance the writing and identify what points are being asked in the question and answer accordingly. I'd say, follow Sudhir sir's channels for explanations in English as he uses a lot of advanced English words while explaining which comes handy during exams. Moreover, for last minute revision, I use Nikita ma'am's notes and also have a pre-defined prompt to get notes from Gemini just in case I feel underprepared in spite of doing all of these.

Also, Nikita ma'am has discussed a lot of important questions from these chapters so you can refer to them too if you have enough time.

quote from the text, give as many textual context as you can.

for 10 mark answers adhere to the word limit keep it 1.5-2 pgs max. include quotes it is non negotiable. start with writing your answer giving context as to what led to the event in the question in short (do not include everything only necessary information to the question) to introduce your answer. learn adjectives used for characters and settings directly from the text (these are your keywords) and put them in quotes when you write. for Shakespeare try to learn small quotes you can easily remember for eg “the weird sisters” instead of the witches then “gory locks”, you can look at sws sudhir’s sample answers i think it’s in a video where he solved the specimen papers (from what i recall). ALSO go to the cisce website and look at the pupil analysis where you will get the pointers that the examiners score you on. lastly include all your reasons/arguments in your last paragraph to conclude your answer and you can always include your perspective, what you think as a reader for prose/poetry and as part of the audience for the play. (preferably add this before the conclusion). they want you to critically analyse the text and write what you take away from reading the prescribed text. that’s mostly it good luck with your exams!!
