Valencian Community PAU Valencian Language and Literature II study plan

Identify and label the thesis, the argumentative structure (introduction, development, conclusion) and the communicative purpose in four expository-argumentative texts of 400–600 words each, writing a one-paragraph outline for every text.

Distinguish register (formal, colloquial, journalistic, academic) and justify the choice with at least three linguistic markers per text (vocabulary, connectors, syntactic complexity, treatment of the reader).

Annotate the rhetorical devices (metaphor, antithesis, enumeration, rhetorical question, irony) in two literary fragments, naming each device and explaining its function in the argument or tone.

Classify each text by genre (expository, argumentative, literary narrative, poetic) and defend the classification with two formal criteria.

Write two full commentary-and-opinion texts of 300–350 words on a current topic, each with an explicit thesis, two supported arguments and a conclusion that does not merely repeat the introduction.

Apply a self-revision checklist to your own texts covering thesis clarity, paragraph unity, connector variety and register consistency, and mark every correction made.

Rewrite one of your texts after revision, reducing redundancy and replacing vague connectors with precise ones (no obstant això, en conseqüència, d'altra banda, així mateix).

Produce a personal bank of 20 cohesive devices classified by function (addition, contrast, cause, consequence, reformulation, exemplification) with one original example each.

Analyse the morphosyntactic structure of 15 sentences, identifying subject, predicate, complements (direct, indirect, circumstantial, predicative, agent) and the type of subordinate clause.

Conjugate and use correctly the problematic verb forms in Valencian (subjunctive imperfect, periphrastic past, pronominal verbs) by completing 40 gap-fill items and justifying five of them.

Apply AVL orthographic norms to a 200-word text seeded with 20 deliberate errors (accents, geminate consonants, apostrophes, hyphenation, b/v, g/j, x/ix) and explain each correction with the relevant rule.

Build a personal error log of at least 15 recurring mistakes from your own writing, each with the corrected form and a one-line rule.

Explain word-formation processes (derivation with prefixes and suffixes, composition, parasynthesis, lexicalised forms) using 20 examples drawn from your own reading.

Distinguish semantic relations (synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, homonymy, hyperonymy, phraseology) in 15 item sets and use each pair correctly in an original sentence.

Write a 250-word expository text on a linguistic topic using at least six words formed by different processes, and underline them.

Complete a timed 30-minute mixed grammar-and-norm exercise set with at least 80% accuracy and review every missed item.

Build a chronological timeline from the Middle Ages to the present placing the main Valencian literary movements, authors and representative works, with at least 25 entries and approximate dates.

Summarise in 80–100 words each the historical and linguistic context of five key moments (medieval splendour, Decadència, Renaixença, early 20th-century avant-garde, post-1978 recovery) and link each to one work.

Compare two authors from different periods on a shared theme (love, homeland, language, death) and state two differences in treatment and style.

Explain how the historical status of the Valencian language shaped literary production in two specific periods, citing one work per period.

Comment on three literary texts from different genres and periods, each commentary covering genre, theme, structure, metrics or narrative voice, style and at least three rhetorical devices with quoted evidence.

Scan and identify the metre of four poems (syllable count, rhyme, stanza type) and name the form where possible.

Analyse narrative voice, point of view and time structure in one prose fragment of 300–400 words.

Write a 200-word guided comparison of two poems on the same theme, focusing on tone and imagery.

Complete two full mock exam papers under timed conditions (text commentary plus literary commentary plus grammar/norm section), respecting the official time allocation.

Self-mark both mocks against a rubric you write yourself, covering comprehension, structure, expression, norm and literary analysis, and score each section numerically.

Identify the three question types where you lose most marks and write a targeted corrective action for each.

Re-read two of your earlier commentaries and rewrite one paragraph in each to raise the precision of literary terminology.

Consolidate the personal error log and timeline by re-testing yourself on 30 items drawn from both, targeting at least 90% accuracy.

Write one final full commentary-and-opinion text of 300–350 words in 45 minutes without notes, then revise it in 10 minutes.

Recite from memory the key dates, authors and works of the timeline and the five context periods, checking against your own written list.

Review the rhetorical-device and connector banks and confirm you can define and exemplify 20 devices and 20 connectors without consulting notes.
