Planning your revision journey for P2

Break down your isiNdebele literary works into smaller, manageable chunks. Focus on one novel chapter at a time, or a few poems each week. Make summaries of the plot, character analyses, and themes for each text. Practice writing essays – not just reading memos, but actually putting pen to paper. Use past exam papers; they are your best friends for seeing how questions are phrased and what’s expected. Study groups with your friends can also be super helpful, you can bounce ideas off each other and clarify difficult concepts. Remember, repetition is key. The more you engage with the material, the more it will stick.
