If a question stated, 'An individual’s sense of belonging emerges from the connections made with people, place and community', would you have to refer to all three of those aspects? - people, places & community, to get an A range mark?
Or would it be okay to just talk about people & community?
Thanks :)

edit: - LOL just realised there was a wink face in the title - was meant to be a smiley :p

Ideally, yes, you would talk about all three ideas.

However, you can frame it as if one (or two) ideas is/are more important than the rest, and use that as your focus. If you don't want to talk about place, then you can mention how place acts as a cause for people and community.

Okay, thank you for your help!
Also, are you meant to organise an essay via the text or point? I've heard differing things :S
Some say you're meant to organise it via text so that the marker can follow your essay clearly, because integration of the texts can lead the marker to lose track of what you're saying?
But most say do it by point... so I'm a bit confused :S

I like

Intro:
Theme 1: Text 1
Theme 1: Text 2
Theme 2: Text 1
Theme 2: Text 2
Conclusion

Or close variations to that general structure. Each discussion of the text looks at a how the idea is expressed within it, specific to that text. Organising it purely by theme can get very confusing, very quickly, unless your writing is amazing.
