Table of content

Remember, we're looking at an example of an ad, like you might find in an IB English A Language and Literature Paper 1 commentary question.

Casual reading & first impressions ๐Ÿง

You're at this part of the adventure when you simply enjoy the text, not worrying about the underlying details. It's like appreciating the surface of the ocean without diving deep. Close your book and absorb the atmosphere of the text. It's like taking a whiff of a fresh pizza but not yet biting into it.

Memories in columns - your personal memory palace! ๐Ÿฐ

In this step, think of yourself as a detective - Sherlock Holmes maybe? ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ You're recalling the crime scene (text), and jotting down your memories, major (right column) and minute (left column). So, if the ad was about a phone, the right column might say "Sleek device, promotion for a new model," while the left might quote "Revolutionize your experience".

Unleashing the relevance of memories ๐Ÿ’ญ

Here, you're a memory explorer. Imagine you're on a quest in a video game, but instead of treasure, you're looking for relevance. How useful are the things you remember when addressing the questions? Maybe the "revolutionize your experience" phrase will help answer what the ad's purpose was!

The importance of memories ๐Ÿ…

Are the things you remember gold medal-worthy or just fun trivia? Is "sleek device" a significant part of the advertisement's appeal, or is it just a minor detail?

Second round of engagement ๐Ÿ”„

For this step, you're like a chef tasting the soup for the second time, looking for the blend of flavors. You consider the text again and note down your impressions. You can compare it to your first impression. Has the flavor changed? Do you taste something new?
