AQA A-level English Lit Coursework

Hi! I'm going into year 13 in a week and have a First Draft deadline for my coursework on the second week back. I have had little help from teachers as my school isn't great.
This is a big ask... but does anybody have an exemplar high level coursework essay that I can read through? Simply as I have no idea how to even begin and my teachers do not respond to my emails. If not, does anyone know where I could find one?
I am comparing the loss of Identity in Never let me go and Pride and Prejudice if anyone has any ideas? Examples can be entirely different books.. I just need an idea on how to lay out my essay.
Thanks in advance!!

I do OCR and our coursework is structured differently as far as I know - do AQA have examples on their website?

Hi, I did Eduqas, but I could send it over if you would like.

Hey! I hope your coursework went reallyyy well.

As someone in a similar position to you right now, how did it go? Any tips?
I do the AQA exam board and am thinking of using Never Let Me Go as my post-1900 text. Still haven't decided on my pre-1900 rip

Hi
There is an exemplar essay on the AQA website:

https://englitweatherhead.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/1/5/44151973/aqa_nea_example_-_great_expectations_and_a_clockwork_orange.pdf

However there is no set structure. My daughter did a really comprehensive youtube video about how to do the NEA essay (inc intro, structure etc). It will get you started and beyond. Good luck.
