I think section 1 will have extracts

 

[Trial&Error]

I feel like section one will be like those essay questions. They haven’t done it in a while I think.
And section two questions are always pretty straightforward anyways.

I hope it's imaginative, I have no idea how to write a good section 1 essay

Honestly same.

 

[Snoopy:)]

Help I've never even practised a section 1 essay I just assumed it was always imaginative/discursive

 

[Dresden]

I reckon like 90% chance we're getting a 10/15 Critical / Creative split with unseen texts they haven't done it since 2019

Esp. for a 10 marker what our teacher taught us is that you essentially bring in an essay loaded with literary theory which shows like an understanding of the purpose or value of literary values and you leave gaps in that to link in the unseen texts. Like my 10 mark structure is:

Intro: Thesis --> Text 1/Text 2 illustrate bla bla bla --> Ultimately they (align with question)
Body: Sub-Idea 1 --> Literary Theory --> Analysis --> Text 1 --> Literary Theory --> Analysis --> Text 2/3
Ultimately, Text 1 & 2 (QUESTION) and show how literary worlds (XYZ)

[thicckoolkid]

What's the possibility they will do a 25 marker essay/critical on extracts like in 2021?

 

[BionicMango]

Good luck you guys I was really lucky with last year it was so nice but idk whether they'll be nice again lol

wait guys are they allowed to ask you to write about 3 prescribed texts in elective essay

You need to have 2 prescribed texts minimum only + a related text for the electives module.

The essay questions normally ask for 2 prescribed and 1 related anyways every year I think.

 

[BionicMango]

Also good to note that they can technically ask for two related texts (it says so in the module description) but its unlikely, so good to prepare for that just in case.

Is a film as a related text okay? Or do the markers usually consider films as less academic than written texts?

a film is a completely valid text. films are good because form is implicit in analysis and also signifies contextual evolutions. be sure to use FILM techniques as opposed to analysing the things that characters say... because that detracts from discussion of form

Does anyone know what a state rank mark would be for ext 1? Like what raw mark and what aligned mark?
