EXAMPLE 60 MARKER ESSAYS

One student has just emailed asking if I can upload an example paragraph for the 60 marker essay.


The absolute BEST thing you can look at is last year's student examples which I sent to you by email. I will send them again in one minute so you all have them. These are STUDENTS who sat this exam LAST YEAR and got an A/A*.


Look at how they structure their paragraphs, how they compare, and how they word their responses to fit the demands of the QUESTION which they have closely key-worded.


Also, look how many TERMS they use.


I will send them over now.


Read them. Highlight them. Study them.

Also, look at the key GENRE CONVENTIONS I uploaded in May if you want ideas about the sort of things to look out for.
