Me too, 100% Exam one. I prefer this to the AQA one, 90 minutes to do two essays and the questions are much nicer.

We have 10% coursework tho lol

Point
-Basically make your point and your basic opinion doesn't have to be to advanced.
Evidence:
-A quotation from the book,play, extract Etc.
Explanation:
-Give reasons to back your point and talk about context if you can.
-Say what the writer is suggesting.
Development:
-Develop your reasons here
-Talk about reader/audience impression
- Writers intentions
-The context
-why the writer has used specific language and techniques and how it reflects on the book
Link:
-Here write about how the links to earlier or later in the book
-Talk about foreshadowing and how it impacts future events in the book

This isn't actually what to write about to get an A grade paragraph it's simply from my understanding. I want to know what everyone else thinks they should write about. So have I missed anything else? Feel free to write what you think you need to write about for an A paragraph.

Hi I'm also taking the exam on Monday. However, I would have to mark this down a lot due to your terrible capital letter placements. You consistently don't give nouns capital letters. You repeat your points and evidence. And I see no structure within your writing. I'm sorry but I would give this a C+

tbf only 4 marks are for spag, so that would only take the essay down by a grade or so (which is still quite a lot). There must be some other reason to mark it down so much?
