1. INSTRUCTION WORDS

NOTE: Use the questions in activities to place/teach the instruction words in context.

Learners should be able to identify the word in a question and explain what action is

required.

Key word Meaning

analyse Break up into separate parts and discuss, examine, interpret, explore and investigate each part. Say how each part is important. Explain how the parts are linked or related.

apply Use in practical way. When you apply you show in a practical way what your understanding is. Use your knowledge and understanding of the topic to make it relevant to a situation, issue or problem.

assess Judge or estimate the nature, quality or value of something. Make a value judgement that you justify by giving reasons.

calculate You need to get to an answer by using numbers. You will add, subtract, multiply or divide numbers to reach an answer.

comment Give your opinion on, explain or criticise. Make a judgement based upon the evidence.

compare Look at two or more things. Identify similarities and differences. See how they are the same, and how they are different. Focus more on similarities than differences.

complete Add the missing information.

consider Think about and give your opinion.

contrast Focus on the differences between two or more things. Show them in opposition to each other.

create Put together ideas or parts to develop an original idea; engage in creative thinking; offer a novel or new suggestion or item.

criticise You need to make judgements to show your own ideas and evaluation.

critically analyse

Show approval or disapproval, or find mistakes or faults, and merits or good aspects; give reasons.

define You need to give the exact meaning of the term or words. Definitions are short and exact. This is not a discussion.

describe Give an account of something where you recall what you have learned or state what you observed.

determine Find out the facts. For example, determine how many learners in Grade 11 do physical exercise more than four times a week.

discuss Write about something; compare a number of possible views about an issue or problem. Debate, consider, and argue the issues. Include comparisons and contrasts, look at pros and cons. Say what you think about the topic. Give a full answer in sentences, not just a list in point form. Always give a conclusion.

do you think

Give your OWN opinions about an issue or problem. Pay attention to the reason you give and arguments you offer; you will not be given marks just for an opinion. Provide well-reasoned or logical reasons for your opinions, based on facts.

enumerate This is the same as list. Give a number of points.

evaluate Give your own opinion and /or the opinions of others. Give evidence to support your evaluation. Give an indication of the amount, quality or value of something. Compare a number of possible views about an issue or problem. Make judgements based on facts.

Page 4: DR R.S MOMPATI DISTRICT ENGLISH HL GRADE 12 REVISION …

NALEDI SUB-DISTRICT Page 4

REVISION GUIDE GRADE 12 TERM 1 2020

examine Carefully look at something and in detail so you can comment on it. Break down an issue or problem into smaller parts to understand it. Then explain what you have learned.

Explain Give details, describe, make clear, make it understandable. Make something plain or simplify. Describe in detail so that it can be understood. Always give examples when you are asked to explain.

give You supply, provide, present, or offer information.

Identify Recognise and name someone or something; to say who or what they are.

illustrate Give realistic examples. Explain very clearly. You can use examples and comparisons.

interpret Show your understanding of the topic, comment on it, give examples. Describe relationships, explain the meaning.

in your opinion

This asks you what you think about something or feel about something. For example, in your opinion do the youth do enough to celebrate Youth Day on the 16th of June?

list Give a short list of the points. State in the shortest way. Be brief. Do not discuss or write an essay. Usually you write items one below the other in a list.

match Find things that go together; find things that are similar or connected to each other.

measure Find the size, quantity, etc. of something. Judge the importance, value or effect of something.

mention Write about something without explaining. There should be no detail; keep it brief.

outline Summarise, describe main ideas and core points, concepts or events. Give an overview.

prove Give the facts to support the issue.

state Explain exactly and clearly as it is.

2. ANSWERING A COMPREHENSION TEST

NOTES

RULES FOR ANSWERING A COMPREHENSION TEST

1. Read through the passage.

2. Read through the questions based on the passage.

3. Read through the passage again, keeping the questions in mind to locate

possible answers.

4. Read through each question again and do the following:

Underline/ highlight/ circle the instruction words as to be informed what each question

expects you to do.

Underline the key word/ key idea

5. Answer the questions and keep the following in mind:

Number your answers to correspond with the numbering system used in the question

paper.

Skip a line between each answer as to facilitate the marking process.

Write neatly and legibly.

The mark allocation will indicate the length of the required answer.

Determine if the answer needs a full sentence, a word or a phrase.

If answering in a full sentence, start the answer with a capital letter and end it with a full

stop.

If you have to quote from the text, enclose the quote with quotation marks/ inverted

commas.

Answer all the questions because a question that is left unanswered constitutes a zero

mark.

If time allows it, edit your work to check that you have answered correctly and followed the

instructions. Watch out for careless mistakes and proofread your essay and/or short answer

questions.

Only change an answer if you misread or misinterpreted the question because the first

answer that you put down is usually the correct one.

3. WRITING A SUMMARY

RULES FOR WRITING A SUMMARY

1. Read the instructions in the question paper carefully to determine what is

expected/ which seven facts are required.

2. Read the text or article to get a general idea of the subject matter.

3. Then read through it a second time to identify the main points.

You can do this paragraph by paragraph.

Identify the topic sentences and underline/ highlight it. These are usually the first sentences

of each paragraph. They give the main idea for the paragraph (with the following sentences

supporting this main idea).

Also look for the concluding sentence in the paragraph, as this often summarises the

paragraph.

4. Now write the main idea of each paragraph (or section) in one sentence.

Use your own words, rather than the author's words. This is important because if you

quoted verbatim what the author has written, you'll lose marks.

Your summary should be written in PARAGRAPH form.

Do not number or bullet your sentences.

You may write more than one point per sentence.

Always indicate the number of words at the end of your summary.

5. Edit what you wrote.

Check for grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes as you will be penalised for

language errors

4. VISUAL LITERACY

4.1 ANALYSING A CARTOON

When analysing a cartoon, it is important to look at the following aspects:

1. Setting

Where and when is the cartoon set?

What is the particular social context?

2. Characters:

What actions and emotions are communicated through body language?

What emotions are communicated through facial expressions?

What does the body language suggest about the relationships between characters?

3. Action

What is happening in the cartoon?

How is the action portrayed?

4. Language

What words have been used?

How has punctuation been used to suggest emotion?

5. Stereotypes / Symbols

Has the cartoonist made use of stereotypes?

Has the cartoonist used any symbols to represent something else?

6. Caricatures:

A caricature is a drawing of a public figure that shows exaggerated features for easy

identification and/or ridicule.

Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary and can serve a political purpose or be

drawn solely for entertainment.

Caricatures of politicians are commonly used in editorial cartoons, while caricatures of

movie stars are often found in entertainment magazines.

Most of us don't like to face ugly truths about ourselves or the society in which we live.

What satirists do is force us to confront these issues through humour.

They use wit, irony or sarcasm to mock or expose people, events or attitudes which they

feel we, as a society, need to think about.

What they hope to achieve is change. They hope that in viewing their work, we 1 will

realise how ridiculous we're being, and that these moments of insight will cause us to

change our attitudes and actions, or put pressure on others to do so.

4.2 ANALYSING AN ADVERTISEMENT

1. When you analyse advertisements, ask yourself the following questions:

What is being advertised?

Who is likely to be interested in this product?

How do the designers try to make the product appealing?

Why do they use specific words in the advertisement?

What does the picture show and why was it chosen?

2. Know the meaning of the following terms:

Slogan: Words that are linked to a product and that are easy to remember (for example,

“Finger-licking good”).

Logo: A visual design, sometimes including letters, words or symbols, that is the official

sign of a company or organisation (for example, the Nike tick).

Font: The style and shape of printed letters, often especially chosen for emphasis in

advertisements or cartoons.

Target market: The type of people an advertisement wants to attract (for example,

fashionable young people; wealthy business people).

Layout: The way the advertisement is set out on the page so that certain words and

pictures attract attention.

Language use: The choice of words and ways of saying things (for example, the use of

slang to sell jeans to young buyers; formal language used to sell banking services to

business people; dramatic language used to sell adventure equipment; repetition used to

make the reader remember the message).

Figures of speech: The use of metaphor, simile, hyperbole (great exaggeration),

onomatopoeia, puns, personification and alliteration (for example, hyperbole and alliteration

used together: ‘Betty bakes the best buns

in the world’).

Sound devices: Words chosen for the effect of their sounds (for example, onomatopoeia

and alliteration used together: ‘Shush, baby’s sleeping).

3. To answer questions on advertisements, you need to:

Understand what the words in the advertisement mean; and understand what is shown in

the advertisement drawings or pictures.

Pay attention to how the words and the pictures work together to persuade the reader to

buy a product or do what the advertisement suggests (for example, a road safety

advertisement may ask that drivers drive slowly).

Understand how the layout of the advertisement and the use of fonts attracts the reader’s

attention.

Pay attention to how punctuation has been used.

Notice the use of figures of speech.

5.3. CONTRACTIONS

A contraction is a word or phrase that has been shortened by dropping one or more letters.

In writing, an apostrophe is used to indicate the place of the missing letters.

Contractions are commonly used in speech (or written dialogue), informal forms of writing,

and where space is at a premium, such as in advertising.

NALEDI SUB-DISTRICT Page 11

REVISION GUIDE GRADE 12 TERM 1 2020

Informal contractions

Informal contractions are short forms of other words that people use when speaking

casually. They are not exactly slang, but they are a little like slang. For example, "gonna" is

a short form of "going to". If you say going to very fast, without carefully pronouncing each

word, it can sound like gonna.

5.7 TAUTOLOGY AND REDUNDANCY

Tautology is redundancies within phrases. Redundancy is any kind of repetition: phrases,

sentences, paragraphs, entire books, it's all the same; the scale isn't important.

A tautology refers to phrasing that repeats a single meaning in identical words: They

followed each other one after the other in succession

5.8 FORMAL AND INFORMAL LANGUAGE

Formal and informal language serve different purposes.

Formal language does not use colloquialisms, contractions or first person pronouns such as 'I' or 'We'.

Informal language is more casual and spontaneous. It is used when communicating with friends or family either in writing or in conversation.

HOW TO KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING A SHONDA RHIMES SHOW

Rhimes loves a strong, indipendent leading lady. Grey's Anatomy is ful of them, but

Dr. Meredith Grey is the best exampel. If it doesn't take place by a hospital, the White

House, or a law school, it's probably not a Shonda Rhimes show. Love triangles are so

Shonda Rhimes that I'm surprised she hasn't trademarked them. Grey's Anatomy is full

of them, including that Matthew/April/Jackson scandal.

In most of Rhimes’ dramas, infidelity is a main theme often coupled with a student-

teacher dynamic. Do not overlook the shocking deaths - If you wept a tear for every

tragic death on Grey's Anatomy, you'd have a whole bowel.

The actors signing in for a Shonda Rhimes show must have serious memorisation skills,

because the monologues are seemingly endless. Scandal's Fitz and Olivia practically

communicate solely via monologue while the other one remains silent on the other end

of the phone.

Eye Candy is Rhime’s secret recipe. Hot dudes are an absolute staple when

constructing a Rhimes show. Just think of Patrick Dempsey and Justin Chambers.

Rhimes loves using the same actors, and a handful of them have appeared in more then

one of her shows.

5 Not only has Grey's Anatomy released four accompanying sidetracks, but it had a

musical event in 2011 that featured the characters sing and dancing. Scandal excels at

funky soul music during its "getting down to business" sequences, and its Music For

Gladiators collection has the likes of KC and the Sunshine Band and Marvin Gaye.
