The workbook is divided into three coloured sections, one for each comparative mode. Each coloured section has three parts to it. The first part focuses on the text itself, and asks text specific questions within that comparative mode. This helps students to become familiar with the text and the aspects of the text that are covered by that comparative study mode.
The second part of each section focuses on one of the comparative study modes. In this part, more general, mode specific questions are asked. Students then have to take what they know about the text and apply it to the mode. By doing this, they will become very familiar with what each comparative study mode involves, and it will help prepare them for writing essay length comparative study answers.
The third part of each section asks students to compare their texts under specific aspects of each mode. Students can identify similarities and differences between their studied texts as they compare and contrast them.
Scene by Scene Comparative Workbooks can be used in class, or at home. By completing this workbook, students will have their own comparative study notes organised for independent study. When completing the workbook, students engage with the text, and confidence in their ability to handle the comparative study grows.
The colour coding design feature means that Scene by Scene's Comparative Workbooks 2017 complement each other. It is easy to identify each mode and make comparisons and contrasts between texts - simply use matching coloured sections of each of the workbooks to identify similarities and differences.
