A level OCR English literature coursework

Hi I'm in year 12 summer doing OCR A level english literature coursework - specifically the 25 marker - and this might be a dumb question but my school didn't specify if the first draft in September is meant to be a fully written essay, a few paragraphs, or even just bulletpoints. Or Does it just depend on your school? I'd ask them but they're not really answering emails in the summer

This may depend on your school, but I remember doing my first draft in Year 1 and it was the full written essay. I did A Level English Literature OCR and the teachers said they could only give detailed feedback once. Not sure if that’s the case with your college! I think to be safe have some paragraphs ready. You have plenty of time until you have to send off the final draft anyways. :smile:

I would write the full essay. I think there’s a limited amount of times they can give you official feedback so it’s better to have more to give rn so that you can address more feedback earlier. You also have more time rn to add in everything you’d want in the essay
