Read the extract twice! Do you understand it? Read the text in the Reading Text Insert Provided and answer ALL questions. You should spend about 1 hour on this section. Question 1 Make sure you know which lines you are supposed to focus on. You already know you need to be finding/identifying a phrase – this is why you need to focus on that which relates to the extract. They examiners are DEMANDING the exact phrase – nothing more, nothing less. Be precise! Question 2 Will always ask the same question. Like question 1 you need to focus on what it is asking you in relation to the text. Use quotations – this is preferable Do not have to be exact like question 1. Must be clear quotations. Question 3 Language and structure will always be in the question. There are two types of structure for questions 3 and 4.For Q3 it’s how the author has put the text together. You must find quotes from the specific lines only. You are looking for patterns – focus on what is repeated. You need at least three points (3 PEEZE paragraphs) – one point on language and two on structure OR two on language and one structure. PEEZE – ZOOM – analysing further – expand – focusing on something specific Pick a language technique for each paragraph – it does not have to be a names point, eg: simile etc. – You need to ensure the words are analysed and quotes are correctly integrated. Question 4 EVALUATE – Always use evaluative language. Write a 1 paragraph for each part of SITE (Setting, Theme, Event or Idea) or if you get stuck double another letter. Read through and highlight 4x quotes relating to what the question is asking you to look for. 4 points/PEEZE paragraphs analysing each paragraph.

Paper 1 Q4 and Paper 2 Q6 are very similar. Both ask you to evaluate the author’s success when writing about a particular aspect of the text. Both have the same mark scheme which awards marks for ‘analysis’ (level 4) or ‘evaluation’ (level 5) of ‘ideas, events, themes settings’. Use one colour to highlight appropriate quotations. Both questions are worth 15 marks. Paper 1 Q4 spend about 30 minutes to respond. Paper 2 Q6 spend about 20 minutes to respond. You will need to write about 2 sides and cover at least x4 points (paragraphs) which each include the following: use of evaluative language PEEZE EOTR direct ref to the question a close look at language/structure coverage of SITE Paper 1 Q3 and Paper 2 Q3 are also very similar. Both ask you to look at language and structure. There are some differences here: Paper 1 refers to a short section of text (line numbers)/paper 2 covers the whole text Paper 1 question is about a specific aspect of the text/paper 2 asks generally about the whole text Paper 1 is worth 6 marks/paper 2 is worth 15 marks Both questions on both papers have a time allowance of 20 mins. Use two colours on both papers to distinguish between lang/struc Paper 1 you will need to write about a page or so and cover three points (x1 language x2 structural or x1 structural x 2 language) Paper 2 you will need to write about two sides and cover x4 points. (x2 language points x2 structural points) Include the following in each paragraph on both papers: PEEZE direct ref to the question you may refer to EOTR but this is not a requirement at all times either a language point or a structural point Paper 1 Q1 and Paper 2 Q1 and Paper 2 Q4 are also very similar. They ask you to identify explicit information from the text. There is a specific difference: Paper 1 requires an exact quotation/Paper 2 Q1 and Q4 requires either quotation or your own words. It is easier and more likely to be accurate if you quote. Paper 1 asks for one exact quotation/Paper 2 Q1 asks for two examples while Q4 asks for one. Paper 1 is worth one mark/Paper two Q1 is worth two marks and Q4 is worth one mark. On both papers, after reading the question, bracket the left hand side of the text exactly where the line numbers required are, and write the question number by the bracket. Underline the quote you are going to use. Timing for these is - Paper 1 Q1 and Q2 plus reading the text – 10 minutes Paper 1 Q2 and Paper 2 Q2 and Paper 2 Q5 are also very similar. There are a variety of slight differences here though. Paper 1 Q2 simply requires you to identify ‘two ways’ – just quote these for two marks. Paper 2 Q2 requires you to find one example (use quotation) and then for the second mark – to comment on how this is used. Paper 2 Q5 gives you the example and again asks you to comment on how this is used for one mark. On both papers, after reading the question, bracket the left hand side of the text exactly where the line numbers required are, and write the question number by the bracket. Underline the quote you are going to use Timing for these is – Paper 2 Q1 and 2 plus reading the text – 10 minutes and Paper 2 Q4 and 5 plus reading the text – 10 minutes Paper 2 Q7A Requires you to ‘synthesise’ and find ‘similarities’ Find at least 3 points of similarity. Cover the whole text over the three points. Write three paragraphs. Write about a page. Use a single colour to highlight points you wish to make. This question is worth 6 marks. Timing for this is 10minutes. Include the following in each paragraph: PEE direct ref to the question both texts referred to in a balanced way Paper 2 Q7B Requires you to TIP (theme, ideas and perspectives). This is very similar to Q4 and Q6 where you have to comment on ‘ideas, events, themes, settings’ Use one colour on both texts to highlight appropriate quotations. This question is worth 14 marks. Spend about 25 minutes on this question. You will need to write about 2 sides and cover at least x5 points (paragraphs) which each include the following: use of comparative language PEEZE EOTR direct ref to the question a close look at language/structure within each idea/perspective ensure coverage of the whole texts Make a key at the top of the texts and briefly write a summary of each question beside the colours: Paper 1 Q3 and Q4 – Paper 2 Q3, Q6, Q7A, Q7B. Exam Paper 1 - Language Paper 1 Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre, published in 1847, tells the story of an orphan girl who lives as a young girl with her wealthy aunt, Mrs Reed, and her cousins, John, Eliza and Georgiana. John in particular takes great pleasure in bullying Jane Eyre and reminding her of her low status within the family and, as an orphan, in society as a whole. In the opening chapter of the novel, Jane hides herself away behind a curtain with a book. However, it is not long before John tracks her down. “What were you doing behind the curtain?” he asked. “I was reading.” “Show the book.” I returned to the window and fetched it thence1. “You have no business to take our books; you are a dependant, mama says; you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg, and not to live here with gentlemen’s children2 like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mama’s expense. Now, I’ll teach you to rummage my bookshelves: for they are mine; all the house belongs to me, or will do in a few years. Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows.” I did so, not at first aware what was his intention; but when I saw him lift and poise4 the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with a cry of alarm: not soon enough, however; the volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it. The cut bled, the pain was sharp: my terror had passed its climax; other feelings succeeded9. “Wicked and cruel boy!” I said. “You are like a murderer – you are like a slave-driver – you are like the Roman emperors!” I had read Goldsmith’s History of Rome, and had formed my opinion of Nero, Caligula, etc.
