IGCSE KEY NOTES FOR IGCSE KEY NOTES FOR DAI SIJIE’S BALZAC & THE LITTLE CHINESE SEAMSTRESS - Study guide (All chapters, page-by-page analysis) : Coursework Companion to IGCSE World Literature 0408
This text is designed for students studying for the CIE World Literature 0408 IGCSE qualification. Although this text cannot be used for coursework in 2018 and 2019, Cambridge confirmed that ‘texts that have been set on Paper 3 in previous years are considered suitable for portfolio work if they are no longer included on the Paper 3 set text list’. This was welcome news for all those that love Dai Sijie’s writing who want to use it for coursework from 2020 onwards! This guidebook summarises the chapters, but integrates key quotations into those summaries. Therefore, students can quickly go through the text highlighting anything relevant to their critical essay question. For example, if you were set the ‘To what extent is Luo a sympathetic character?’, you can quickly highlight any information or quotations that seem relevant. Once you have done that, you will be in a position to write your 800-word-to-1,200-word essay.
