1) Read the book for fun first 2) Context is important and useful for understanding the book 3) chapter summaries. Also note important quotes and stuff in em 4) character summaries 5) mindmaps 6) alternative interpretations 7) perspective and narration. 8) how to remember quotes @ 11:03

This couldn’t come at a better time!! I’m doing English lit next year and I got a list of books that I’m likely to be studying which I’m gonna read over Summer - also it feel SOOO refreshing to hear someone saying they like to read because so many people around me can’t stand it!!

@leeyanxing2495 5 лет назад

Me too! im doing AS englit btw:)

@AliceMcx 5 лет назад

Lee Yan Xing Oh cool!! Do you know which books you’re gonna be studying? x

@belrose3441 5 лет назад

Alice McNally I have a list of what I might be studying but I don’t know which specific ones😶

@AliceMcx 5 лет назад

bel Rose What year are you in?? I guess you could always have a little look at a couple of them just for enjoyment purposes anyway and if it turns out you’re not studying one that you read? Ah well, I’d say the more you read the better anyway!☺️

@rosemarieanthony5347 5 лет назад

You have been such a huge source of motivation for me. You make me feel like I can truly accomplish things - thank you!!! ❣️

@beberoro1 5 лет назад

I agree with all your tips, especially the Context tip! Researching about the author, the book and the era it was written in is SO SO helpful for studying a book!

@iceberglettuce1129 5 лет назад

Wow it's so cooled that this is sponsored by penguin! I love reading, especially Classics, but I'm pretty bad when it comes to reading them for school I live in America so I don't take the same type of tests you do, but this was still really helpful for my own english classes. Thanks for this video

@gracel8103 5 лет назад

congrats on the sponsor Jade!!! Also thank you so much for the video it's so so helpful:)

@khushireddy8366 5 лет назад

You're actually incredible and such an inspiration! Managing a levels, a youtube channel with (nearly!!!) 200k subscribers, being head girl and so much more! And you are always so positive and happy! Thank you so much for doing what you do

@UnJadedJade 5 лет назад

This made me smile SO much! Bless you! 🙈 It has honestly been this crazy lil journey that I'm so grateful for, and people like you are the reason I've loved it so much! Lots of love x

@sakinanaqvi5062 5 лет назад

Hey Jade! It's a shame that I'd already taken my English exam a day BEFORE you uploaded this, it is so useful ( like all of your other vids)!!! Had my last exam today so yayyyyy! BTW, I loved to see your exam journey and how you persevered till the end. You're one of my biggest inspirations ever. There's so much more to say but I can't find the words to thank you enough for your awesome content. LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤!

@ailbhenoonan819 5 лет назад

YESSS! I need to reteach myself how to annotate books... preferably before I sit the ELAT! 😅 Thank you Jade! Also - YES PENGUIN! I'm studying Great Gatsby, Remains of the Day, and Things Fall Apart for IB English Lang and Lit. I love Things Fall Apart; I haven't started Remains of the Day yet; and I love the language of Gatsby, but I find it a lot to take on at the moment.

@ModernLuke123 5 лет назад

Such a cool thing to achieve, not many people can say they have got this far!

@faeriehearthwitch6185 5 лет назад

All fabulous advice! British 19th Century lit was my major and specialty in college and as a professor. If you have not seen it yet, watch the new movie Mary Shelley. Such an interesting peek into her life that makes you crave for more! And reread those classics too. Your personal approach and experience differs as you age and experience things!

@MsPeerEditor 5 лет назад

Love this video! I definitely agree that reading for fun first helps to clarify the plot and relationships between characters in a novel.

@user-dx4hq7ij9c 4 года назад

Hi Jade! I did my GCSEs not long ago and I wanted you to know the results were unexpected! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and I wasn’t confident with myself when I did the exams. I watch your videos because you motivate me so much and i got A’s for my English language and English Literature! I just want to say thank you so much and I know they aren’t A* but I did the best. Thank you so so much. Keep doing what you do. I actually expected a C for my eng lit 😭😭😭 aaaAAA❤️

@francescahughes1024 5 лет назад

I’ve always loved English Lit and am doing next year for A level. However I was intimidated by the jump in classic analysis so thank you for this video. 💚

@amylouise1360 5 лет назад

I just finished my first year at university and i'm spending most of my time reading this summer, could you do a video maybe talking about some of your favorite books? Love your videos!x

@user-js6zj4dd6w 5 лет назад

This was so useful, thank you ! What you said about watching the movie etc. is so true, one of my teachers actually had us watch the movie of a Shakespeare play first in order to see the text in the form of how it would have been for those in the time period before we went on to study it. XX

@leonorsilva5268 5 лет назад

Yessss, Jadeeeee! You´re back and better than ever! And you are so close to 200k! I can´t believe you´ve grown so fast... you deserve it so much, though. Congrats!

@UnJadedJade 5 лет назад

Wooooo we're trying 💁‍♀️😉 thank you so much for all your love and support! It really is MAD to think I'm nearly at 200k woahhh!! x

@imoh.6247 5 лет назад

I decided for myself to read a classic every other book that I read to improve my knowledge and to seem smarter and accomplished in conversations😁 it always takes me way longer to get through them but I think it is really good for me to go through with it. The only book I struggled with so far was Emma because it repeats itself so often. At the moment I am reading pride and prejudice for the second time, but this time in English and not in German to furthermore improve my language

@smilasmila1686 5 лет назад

Needed this so much because I’m rubbish at English and was watching your English essay which was sooo helpful Thank you

@karlaandthings3485 5 лет назад

Frankenstein was one of my favorites in my AP English Lit class back in high school! It really was an easy going book & the drama was juicy if we consider Shelley was from an era way back when lol she was definitely a writer ahead of her time!! 🤩

This video was really comprehensive and yes girl get that coinnn! Everyone loves Penguin. I also did Othello but I absolutely hated it unfortunately!

@katieee7573 5 лет назад

It’s weird because a couple of weeks ago I had my year 10 mocks and in most of them I’ve done pretty crap in. However for English, we only had a literature exam and I did really well, I got an 8 which is mind blowing because I only looked at quotes the night before and felt that for both the questions (for my class, we did Jekyll and Hyde and Julius Caesar) I had no idea and made it all up 😂 only lost 11 marks overall so pretty happy with that! Doubt my actual GCSEs will go that well lol. Thanks for the helpful video! I’m sure it will come of use to me in the future :)

@willemcaney4790 5 лет назад

Classic novels? I love classic novels ❤❤❤ "Pride and Prejudice"of Jane Austen and "Wuthering Heights" of Emily Brontë are my favourite but I like alot of Shakespeare and Arthur Conan Doyle too📓📓 About Wuthering Heights, I got really confused because of Catherine and Cathy and a little confused about Harrison 😳it's a complicate book just because of the characters. Love u alot Jade 💕

@emmab5035 5 лет назад

i love frankenstein so much and this is so helpful some teachers have given similar tips! starting A Level next year and we're studying The Great Gatsby and Othello. i think reading Othello will be super hard to read 'for fun' but the school are offering a discounted trip to see it on stage!! i'm really excited to get stuck in

@emmab5035 5 лет назад
