Analyse, then catch the flavour Explanation: This is just a suggestion. The translation should really depend on the type of register you employed throughout the text, whether you can be creative or not. You could also say, Analyse, you'll catch the flavour, or even, analysis to catch the flavour. |

Analyse before you leap Explanation: The teacher is drawing on a popular French proverb : "Reculer pour mieux sauter " : signification et origine de l’expressionCette expression signifie que l'on prend le temps de réfléchir avant de décider quelque chose. Toutefois on l'emploie également lorsqu'une personne subit un échec momentané pour lui figurer que "la prochaine fois sera la bonne". On a d'abord employé "reculer pour le plus loin saillir" au XIIIe siècle puis "reculer pour mieux saillir" au XVe siècle. Our English expression that is similar is: "Look before you leap." One of the biggest problems students have is in not understanding the question on a test before they start to answer it. I think the playful phrase I have suggested translates the playfulness in the French. |

Think (or Analyse) first, then react/respond Explanation: Depending on the register, you might be able to avoid "Analyse" as to me it seems a bit heavy handed for a title. You could also consider other, less direct, variants such as "Plan your attack/critique" "Analysis and response" "Build your critique" Best, Jocelyne |

Analysis, the key to enhanced response/response enhancement Explanation: it's only a sub-title so you can afford to be a bit hi falutin' and translate slightly freely |
