Lecture 4.2.0 - Writing the Literary Essay
Lecture Overview
This lesson is dedicated to writing a Literary Essay. Hopefully you have prepared yourself by reading the homework assigned in Lesson 4.1 – TEMPLATE FOR WRITING A LITERARY ESSAY.
The next lesson will be devoted to writing a comparative essay that is non-literary.
What’s a literary essay?
It is one that is about some poem, short story, novel or play that is literature. In Grade 12 you will write them. If you take any course on literature at the college or university level, you will most definitely be required to write one or more essays about some literary work. It may be a reflection on just one text or it may be a comparison between two texts. In this lesson you will learn how to brainstorm, outline and develop both.
And, we will be returning several times to a template that you should save. It will guide you step by step in creating all future essays you have to write.
