Re: English Literature GCSE AQA (poetry) May 24th, Higher tierI can't really remember, I think it was to compare, that's what i've done ... and I don't think it would've mattered if you had an introduction or not~ the examiner might've liked you going straight to the point!(Original post by ArtisticFlair)
What was the command word for Quickdraw? Was it compare or explore? Also, for the unseen I didn't do an introduction so I hope this doesn't matter

Re: English Literature GCSE AQA (poetry) May 24th, Higher tierThat sounds pretty good to me! As long as you had Point, Evidence, and Analysis in each paragraph, it seems like a really good structure- from what I've heard, examiners like it when you combine both poems in one paragraph, it shows a high skill than doing 3 paragraphs on poem one, and then 3 on poem two, for example(Original post by ArtisticFlair)
In terms of strucute for Section A, is it okay to have done the following...
PARAGRAPH 1: Quickdraw (analyse language), whereas Rossetti in Sister Maude employs... (analyse language)...
Three of these paragraphs, along with an intro and a conclusion with a personal response? Taa x

I did Place, so I didn't even look at them, sorry! I'd suggest you look back through the pages of this thread, as some people may not be looking back any more, as the exam was a while ago, and people have moved on to their next exams. -

Re: English Literature GCSE AQA (poetry) May 24th, Higher tierI would say you'de need a high B in the exam. It's 25% controlled assessment, right? We only did 1 controlled assessment, didn't you? AQA right?(Original post by charvimar)

Did anyone do the conflict cluster? And if so, which question did you choose? I did the one about The Charge of the Light Brigade (something like 'compare how bravery is represented in Charge of the Light Brigade and one other poem') and I compared it to next to of course god america i by e.e cummings... But everyone else that I've spoken to seems to have chosen the other question about Mametz Wood and I'm just wondering why everybody seemed to pick that question...
