For the last question, how did U structure it? Is it ok to argue for and against them come to a conclusion?


I guess that's fine. I structured mine
Intro
Advantages for pets
Disadvantages for pets
A for humans
DA for humans
Other A
Other DA
Conclusion

And finished with about a minute and a half to spare :h:

What did everyone get for the four mark q about what we learn about the author?
I wrote:
-He was young because he relied on his mum and grandmother for information
-He was dependant on his grandmother (he held her hand to stop being separated
-He didn't know much about the war (even when his grandma told him the soldiers were going he didnn't understand why)
-He was imaginative because he personified the train

For question 4 I wrote too much about the description of the station, but it kind of overlapped with the words phrases and technique part so... *shrugs*



hello my friend WE WROTE THE EXACT SAME FOR THE 4 MARKER

For the Section B part I found the RNLI thing to be OK, since I crammed about it last night (lucky) so I just wrote about background colours, emotive language, logo and slogan impact and the images... I think that went well but I needed extra paper.
For the second part of Section B I just wrote a letter about a holiday to Spain from a first person view in past tense. I got a few good descriptions in there so rn I'm just crossing my fingers and rereading all of Anthology B xD

Lol I thought I had spent too much time on that as well and then after panicking that I only had 10 minutes to finish the paper I realised that I was reading the clock wrong xD

How many marks do you think we will need for a c grade?
is it still possible to pass if you do really well on paper 2?

This year's January paper had a grade boundary of 49 marks. Paper 2 has 3 marks and Paper 1 has 60. If you do well on the second paper you would only need to have scored 20 marks minimum in Paper 1 to get a C
