About Course

Learn how to read an extract you have never seen before and write clear, detailed analysis of how the writer uses language, with Remi the owl as your guide. Using original practice extracts and a short passage from Charles Dickens’s Bleak House (1853), you will practise picking precise quotations, using the right terminology and explaining effects on the reader.
