Classics A Level

•

we would go over key themes such as war, love, gods, women and so on

•

We would then find sections from the epic that related to these As well as scholarly sources

•

My biggest piece of advice though is knowing the epic inside and out - i used to teach my family and pets about the epic and that way i knew it so well that it didn’t matter what theme came up

•

And keep following the simple structure of PEA- point, evidence (from the epic), i did have some direct quotes but mainly just pharphased, then i would analyse the quote and link it back to the question

Finally make sure you have scholars in the 30 markers otherwise you are capped
