Introduction the writers effectively present the *keywords* through a variety of literary techniques or language techniques or structural techniques then saying that the writers effectively present these either in very similar ways or in very different ways Point 1 Begin with the leading text with “Firstly” Mention how does text A states the Keywords and then in the same sentence compare it with the Text B using keywords. Quote from text A and mention techniques and again support it with your point from text B Close of the first example with a conclusion from text A and B Similar points use ‘similarly’ and use “on the other hand” when comparing different points Point 2 Repeat the same format with a different point using “secondly” Point 3 Repeat the same format with a different point using “Additionally” or “thirdly” State more points if you have time Conclusion Restate the key points from the question Conclude and give final remarks on both of the texts

omg this actually helps fr I wish teachers explained it more briefly how like u

Using this structure you can this use the follow layout for each point paragraph: PEPEEEL - Point, Explain, Point, Explain, Evidence, Evidence, Link

I heard of a tuition class, found out that everyone who did go to the class got straight A for English and lit. I found out that they only show your vids. Thanks for your help too wish you more subs

Soo helpful thank you!

Thank you. This was very helpful :)

Thank you this was helpful, although would it be possible to get a high grade with only a thesis and two developed points, rather than three?

tysm i think itll be helpful tmr

Awesome explanation!! Helped me a lot

does this also work for poems?

thank you !!

is this a 30 marker question? english lit the comparing

Really helpful...thankyou

can this be used for edexcel

Please do model answers

thank you so much

is this applicable to the wjec eduqas exam board?

thanks gcse literature exam in 2 days 😢

Just got my mock back I got a 5 outta 9 thx alot I lost marks cuz of my mistakes

i really struggle to find points to write from the essays, anyone got any tips?

Are the devices ur comparing have to be the same e.g simile from one poem being compared by another simile

thanks

This helped so much thanks

wait so each point is equal to point mark ? so if you had a 10 marker would you need to have 10 points

can i talk about something similar about to quotes and something diffrent about those same quotes in the same paragraph

Can this model be used for edexcel too?

do we have to include context in our answers for grade 9

Have trials tomorrow.

Thank you ❤️🥺

amazing :)

i want you to teach me
