Hmmm...this brings back memories! I did my A-Level coursework on Como Agua Para Chocolate this year. What you have to do is structure it really well. Include a clear plan, and make sure you know exactly what you are going to write about before you start. I'm not doing the same exam board as you so mine might be slightly different, but make sure you read the book in Spanish first (I assume your essay is in Spanish) then read it in English. As for the vocab, you'll just have to look up the words as you need them. Don't worry about including complex structures, these will automatically be needed. Make sure to check the grammar though, it is very hard because it has to be practically perfect! Good luck!
