GP Tips/Resources 💯 ZAscension

_FAQ: For 'in your society' questions, can I use examples from other countries? Or has to only be about Singapore?__ Answer: 'In your society' essay questions have a specific focus on the local context. This means that the arguments and examples should all be relevant for the situation in Singapore. Doing well for such questions requires a very nuanced and keen understanding of Singapore, including the perspectives, the issues and the recent events relating to the topic If we wish to bring in examples from other countries, we may only do so as a point of comparison. This is to say we shouldn't just talk about some overseas example without relating it to Singapore. We can only use it to explain similarities or differences, and it would be best to follow-up with a corresponding local example #FAQ Got questions?

Remember to access the sample lessons when you are free. And if you enjoyed more of this, definitely consider joining us to dive deeper into GP. Although we do have a track record of 90% A/B, the A grades usually belong to students who have attended more ZAscesnsion lessons. If you're interested to join our weekly lessons, there are available slots for Mon and Wed 7.30pm. Or, you may consider the upcoming Example Boost Workshop from late Jun-July. Check out the PDF below to understand how ZA lessons are significantly different from other GP lessons

Essay Points of the Day: A very common question that looks at our attitudes towards music in Singapore. The ideas can be generalised to other questions that look at the arts. What's important in this one is to ensure we can fully flesh out the unique characteristics of Singapore, to properly engage with the Context modifier in this question #Instagram

Take note that this is distinct from the Content Crash Course which will start in Aug. CCC focuses on model essays and paragraph crafting, while the Example Workshop quickly delivers examples and arguments. They are meant to be completely complementary :) More details on CCC will also be released nearer to to Aug

The main highlights of the lessons include: 1. Tons of examples (over 150+ total across 5 Themes) 2. All carefully Curated to ensure they are recent + major 3. Explanation of how we can form arguments from there 4. Highlighting of key vocab to express such nuanced arguments 5. My verbal sharing of how we connect examples and actual GP questions Each example is also like a story, where we will focus on 1 idea but still find tons of ways to apply the Example! In just a few lessons, you can greatly boost your content knowledge

I'm going to share a short sample lesson of what the Example Boost Workshop will be like, access the recording to learn 2 key examples. Even if you don't plan to join, these will still be very valuable examples to learn. Each Essay lesson, we will share 30 examples, giving a brief overview of the facts and emphasising the significance where we craft arguments from these facts and link it to actual GP questions. This gives students a lot of confidence to apply these examples to their Essays!

I'm also happy to share the launch of the Mid Year Example Boost Workshop where we share 150+ case study examples for the most major Themes in GP, over 6 lessons (5 Essay, 1 Compre). Each Essay lesson deep dives into 1 Theme, and the final Compre lesson will focus on SAQ skills. Join us for the class starting 25 Jun 😃

The benefits are outlined at the end of each post as well, to remind us how this can help. It would be good to enhance our content knowledge over Jun as well 🥳

🧪 Today we are staying with Sci & Tech, looking at a question that explores the different purposes behind research. Topic: Aim of a scientist Claim: Is human curiosity the most important? If you find this useful, please share it with other students and consider following the ZA Insta account to get timely updates and to support my content creation efforts 😃

Each year I work on a different project to enhance my GP content for students and this year after a year-long preparation, I'm really excited to share this new initiative of Essay Arguments on Insta. In the age of AI, we can easily find examples. But most students struggle with forming insightful arguments and using language to articulate nuances and depth. This series is designed to quickly deliver the 4 possible arguments for popular questions (either Prelims or A Levels). This can give us a very efficient way of knowing how to approach certain questions, as well as quickly acquire arguments 😃 https://www.instagram.com/p/DY_iJdjDE7b/?igsh=MXRnYnhlbnRxaGx4OA==

My goal has always been to help as many students as I can, hence the setting up of this channel in the first place. Even if you can't join us, I hope these will greatly help you! If you enjoyed these and want more, do consider supporting my work by joining the lessons. Details for Mid Year Example Booster + Content Crash Course will be released soon :) Apart from those, weekly lessons are also available on Mon Wed nights 😊
