Connections across texts · Part 1 of 3
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 the text requirements of AS91478 and describe how you would choose a set of four texts.
A student has three class texts that all present a decision made off-stage, and two candidates for a fourth: one matches the pattern exactly, the other shows people arguing about the same decision. Which should they choose, and why?
Respond critically to the claim that the student-selected text is simply an extra text the standard requires, rather than a structural part of the argument.
Explain what makes a connection significant in AS91478, and give an example of one that is true but not significant.
Explain the difference between a Level 2 connections report and a Level 3 critical response, and describe the kinds of judgement a Level 3 response can make.
Respond critically to the view that a connection strained in one text is a weakness in the set, and that the text should be replaced.
