Take it in turns to re-tell the extract using quotes and key
points.
Exam question to focus your task:
How does the writer describe the place where he is?
Rule: You should not work-it-out before, you need to “active-read”.
Expected:
• Complete the task chronologically
Exceed:
• Use short quotes within your points
Excelled:
• Try to only use 6 points IN TOTAL (so be brutal!)
To read the
extract while
doing the
question.
There are four strategies AQA suggest when answering:
1. What do they want you to compare?
(eg: place, event, tone: positive/negative spin)
2. Find
two facts in each text
(eg: phrases that are short and give clear information)
3.
What do the facts tell you?
Questions that help inference:
 what does this suggest to me about (…)?
 what might I imply from this about (…)?
 what does it make me realise (...)?
This question is all about
what THEY think.
How do I write it? (12 mins!)
4: Write one paragraph about Source A
Using PEE (x2 preferable)
REPEAT for Source B (using linked word
ie: However, On the other hand,
similarly)
Sentence stems (for 2nd E
of PEE):
 This suggests to me
that…
 I think that this
implies…
 This makes me
realise…
 This makes me think
that…
Assessment Materials 2 – Question2:
CHANGE TO EXEMPLAR
How are things to see and do at Glastonbury
Festival and Greenwich Fair different?
At Glastonbury modern crowds can enjoy the mud and
camp out at Glastonbury in ‘a series of tents …’ which
could be chaotic because “some lose their moorings” or
go there to be entertained by bands like “Coldplay and
Inference
The Killers”. However at Greenwich fair…

Question 2 Vs Question 4
 Only similarity between the
two questions is that:
They can both be structured in
the same way
1. Singular paragraphs for each
text with clear connectives
2. Integrated paragraphs
directly comparing
 Paper 2 Q4 assesses AO3 - explicitly requires students to compare how
writers convey their perspectives
 The word convey (or its equivalent) will require students to consider
effects of language as well as other methods
Including:
• tone of the writing
• Use of image to reinforce meaning
• testimonies
• foregrounding or emphasis
• bias (what is present or omitted)
• level of selectivity of information etc.
Let’s standardise question 4 - and decide on approach
Higher Mark tips: Use the “long” quote and
zoom in on different parts; this will encourage
multiple inference of 1 quote.
