What you need to know
The 15-mark AO4 question: evaluating how successfully the writer achieves an aim the question names, with critical judgements supported by references to the extract.
Using methods only where they show how well the aim is achieved, and why the question deserves the largest share of Section A's hour.
The worked example uses an extract of about 650 words from Wilkie Collins's 19th-century story 'The Dream Woman', printed in the lesson.
What separates the levels, in our own words, and a model answer with the level and mark an examiner would give, and why.
A weaker and a stronger answer to the same task side by side, with what lifts the weaker one to the next level.
Sentence starters for the question and a short checklist of the steps, for students aiming at Grade 4 and above.
