    Assessment objectives: paper 2

    • AO1: response to task and use of supporting references,


    use of comparison and quotations
    • AO2: the use of methods to create meanings, the use of
    terminology and effect of techniques
    • AO3: ideas, perspectives and cultural factors
    Remember: the question gives a guide to how to answer and
    gives you the AO3 focus the exam board wants you to consider
    Exam board tips for students
    • When you are studying the text, think: what is the text about, how has the
    writer communicated meanings, and why do you think they have written it
    • Read the questions to the two unseen poems before you start to read the
    poems – these questions help you to understand what the poems are
    about. The exam board knows you haven’t seen them before and are
    trying to use the questions to help you understand the poems!
    • An introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can
    be a really helpful way of starting your answer and can provide a strong
    foundation for your essay. Keep referring back to the question as you go,
    and aim to give a conclusion that consolidates the big ideas you have been
    discussing. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you
    know what you think.
    Suggestions for analysing language!
    • Look out for words that can have more than one meaning.
    What further ideas or images could they create?
    • What specific emotion are you encouraged to feel as a result
    of the words used?
    • Which words help you identify the tone or mood of the
    character? How do the words imply his or her feelings or
    attitude? What are the reasons why?
    • Identify the specific techniques that have been used in the
    text. Consider what impact they have upon the tone.
    • Choose adjectives, adverbs, verbs and nouns to explore – how
    do these words suggest what the character or setting is like?
    Analysing structure could be:
    • How the sentence structures or specific punctuation
    reflect feelings or emotions within the text. How does it
    change or develop?
    • Analysing how a repeated symbol (motif), idea or theme
    runs throughout a whole text
    • Looking at the opening and closing lines to see how
    they are connected. What impact do they have on the
    reader?
    • Consider the: narrative viewpoint, repeated symbols,
    sentence structure and punctuation, the opening and
    closing, semantic fields (words/expressions related in
    meaning), rhythm
    PEAL
    • P – state your point
    • E – follow your point with evidence in the form of a
    quotation from the poem
    • A – explain how the evidence explains your point, identifying
    relevant linguistic devices or structural points. This can be a
    good opportunity to address how this would affect the
    audience, as well as writing about the authors purpose
    • L – link each paragraph back to your question, to show the
    examiner your understanding of the question

    Aim for about 3 paragraphs and an introduction, followed by


    a conclusion which summarises the key points you argued!
