Unfamiliar text · Part 3 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.
Describe how to structure an answer to Question One or Two, and explain what a complete paragraph contains.
Explain why a paragraph organised around a technique tends to score lower than one organised around an effect, and explain how to convert the first kind into the second.
Discuss what makes a piece of evidence strong in an unfamiliar-text answer, given that the marker has the same text in front of them and no context is shared.
Describe what Question Three requires and explain how to structure a comparative answer.
Explain why same means, different effect is a stronger comparison than both writers use the same technique, and explain how to find one in the exam.
Discuss why comparison is the part of this paper candidates are least prepared for, and evaluate what would fix it.
