Close reading visual and oral texts · Part 2 of 2
6 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 8 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 2 pages of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.
Explain what makes an aspect significant, and what counts as evidence in a text you cannot quote.
Explain, with reasons, why counts and durations do more work in this standard than the names of techniques.
Respond critically to the view that demanding checkable evidence pushes students toward trivial observations about a text.
Explain the difference between a convincing response and a perceptive one in AS91480, using the standard's own wording.
Explain, with reasons, why correctly identifying what a visual convention means rarely earns Merit or above.
Respond critically to the view that a student who states the limits of their own reading is admitting weakness rather than demonstrating sophistication.
