I took English lit in june and my advice on coursework would be:

Make sure you have a structured argument that flows.
Specific Analysis is key
Cover all AOs in your title - make sure its focused, but not super specific.
Also look at specimen papers and read their commentaries to see what examiners are looking for.
Critical reviews varied to weave into your argument

Hope this helps xx

Hi! I finished Eng Lit this year in June

What izzy2000 said above ^^

Also make sure you keep sending drafts to your teacher. And most importantly: START EARLY AND MAKE A PLAN (take this from personal experience... lol)i
