                                                  _ Hints for choosing related texts 


                                                  • Choose a text you love. You may not like your teacher's choice of set text, but this is your chance to make the topic relevant to you.
                                                  • Choose different types of texts: Eg: if you’re studying a film, choose a documentary, novel/short story, poem, website, song or play; not another film.the point of related texts is to show the marker you've read and viewed widely.
                                                  • You should also pick related texts that both reinforce and contradict the ideas in your prescribed text. This shows the marker you have read and viewed widely, not picked the first things you found.
                                                  • Choose texts about different aspects of belonging. This shows the marks that you’ve investigated different concepts of belonging (eg: when it’s better not to belong!) as well as the prescribed text.
                                                  • If you’re advanced student, try using a non-fiction text to develop and structure your argument about the other texts. This helps you interweave your material
