any advice on how to do practice english essays, read great expectations and do my mdp in 2 weeks

just read your text. i'm not kidding. i also have a prose novel prescribed for module b albeit a different one to yours, and the only way to end up reading your text is just to start it. getting the incentive to actually just start reading it is the hard part, but when you settle down with the book reading as much as you can in one sitting you'll realise you would've read a lot by the end. this is how i ended up reading an entire book while in the city, i just read it with no accounting for what page or how much time passed, you'll know when to stop when you just let yourself 'go' and just indulge yourself in a good read. if it helps, i read great expectations in y9, dropped it when i was so desperate and focusing on reading as much pages as i could and restarted and finished it in year 10, every day i would just spend an hour in the morning (i woke up early) reading it up to the end of breakfast, then as to not tire myself out from spending so much time just reading the book i just placed a bookmark in and then continued about my day and read it the next. it's actually a great book once you just let yourself in it.
my prac essays are in a scaffold, made from colourful organised tables with little subtitles and headings that split my essay up into separate 'chunks' that make it easier for me to understand/absorb and also guide me + give me indicators as to what ideas i have to write. for example, the one i wrote for module a had one column that described the argument stripped down to its basic themes, and then little subheadings from there such as Topic sentence / Poem 1 / Poem 2 / Poem 3
also the "only take what u need" thing is really smart, definently gonna try it thank u!
