Anyone possibly heard of ID-EG-FX?
Our English teacher has drummed into us from day one: "ID-EG-FX". If you break that down it basically means:
1. ID - (IDENTIFY)
Identify the Technique, textual feature, etc.
2. EG (EXAMPLE)
Support your knowledge and show the markers that you know what you are talking about by providing an example or evidence from the text, such as a quote or brief description of a scene which takes place.
3. FX (EFFECT)
After providing example(s) explain the effect that this has, not only on the text itself but on the audience or responder.
ID-EG-FX is pretty much the same principle as all these other acronyms. The structure's just a bit different. You have to always remember too to link whatever you say back to the question. The markers will mark higher if they can see that you are able to do that. Hope this helps some of you guys. Wish all of you the very best for your exams!!!
BTW: I'm first in Advanced English so let me know if you need any help. =)
