Context in Essays (1 Viewer)

[Rayzablade]

Hey I was just wondering where you should be putting context in your body paragraphs. I usually put context right after my topic sentence e.g.

"Topic Sentence". Set in the 1990's, the film...

However, my teacher says that you should be putting context in the end of your body paragraphs e.g.

Thus, (insert text) reflects the (insert context) of its time, (then link back to topic sentence/thesis)

Is she right? This is for Module A: Comparative study of texts and context by the way.

I usually put it at the end. Otherwise it seems to me like you're saying what was happening at the time the text was written and then trying to prove that through reference to the text, not the other way around. That's just a personal thing though, I don't see why it would affect your marks that much.
