Panorama Studying Tips

For a period of time I racked my brains to find a fine method to study Panorama. And now I think I’ve just found it. Well, it’s not my purpose to sound big-headed but I would like to give you some tips!
The first and the most important one is to take notes of what the teacher says. Of course none of us is able to write it down every single word that comes out of his mouth. However, we must pay attention to the whole information. Then “translate” it into one phrase or into few words that afterwards will make us remember what it was about. Although if you cannot apply this rule to every piece of information try to exchange notes with colleagues. But not during the class because you definitely will disturb your mate’s concentration. And also can make the teacher thinks that you’re having an idle chat.
Look for extra material – “IVP” . Do a research about the author- who was he, what was happening in the country and in the rest of the world while he was writing his novel. In Evelise’s words: “ You must contextualize”. If you don’t do it it’s harder to understand. And it seems to me that if we understood something is much easier to save in mind.
Try to read the books. What I know from those Panorama’s tests and what I’ve already seen in those same tests is that the teacher doesn’t care very much about the story. I don’t think he’s going to ask who was the main character. However for sure you have to take a look and you have to know at least the general idea of the required reading.
At last but not less significant. After being under all these procedures review your notes , review your research and try to find a connection, this is the main word INTERTEXTUALIDADE. Let’s not be naive the order of books it’s not casualness. There’s a relation. It’s not just because.
So let’s see if those tips work out?
