Paper 1 Questions 5 and 6: imaginative writing
Paper 1 writing
What you need to know
The 40-mark writing task: a choice of two prompts for imaginative writing, such as an experience that may be real or imagined, linked by theme to the extract read in Section A, one of them with two images to use or leave aside.
How it is marked: 24 marks for AO5 (communication and organisation) and 16 for AO6 (vocabulary, sentences, spelling and punctuation), and how to plan and write within Section B's 45 minutes.
A weaker and a stronger response to one task side by side, with the level and mark an examiner would give each for AO5 and AO6, and why.
The tasks follow on, by theme, from the extract of Wilkie Collins's story 'The Dream Woman' used in the reading lessons.
