Language Paper 2

4 True / False statements Summarise both texts with a focus Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 4 True / False statements Summarise both texts with a focus Analyse language – think about purpose Comparison of the texts with a focus Write according to PAF 4 marks 8 marks 12 marks 16 marks 40 marks (16 SPaG) AO1 AO2 AO3 AO5 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes 45 minutes Remember to factor in reading time! You have two sources to read, potentially both longer than 1 A4 page!

Question One Just shade the correct box

Writing a summary… Let’s have a look at an example question….. Read the question. Highlight the question. Read the two sources. Highlight the relevant information in both sources. Answer the question. How many paragraphs do you think you should write for a 8 mark question?

Brushing up on your summary skills….. Shorter than the original Focussing on what the question has asked you to look at Includes only the main points from both sources. Is objective Included in-text references (quotations where appropriate) Fun Fact: The SAMs have all been about the differences between the two sources, but AQA have said they may ask for the similarities. Make sure you’ve read the question and know what it’s asking you to do!!!

Quick fire comparisons with quotes to support – no need for analysis Quick fire comparisons with quotes to support – no need for analysis. In Source A the writer says___________________________________, for example, “____________________________________________.” Whereas Source B is different because_________________________ ______________________________. For example, “_____________ ________________________________________________________. Repeat 3 times

Question 3 – looking at language What technique is used? What is the effect on the reader? Is the writer successful?

Question 3: A Forest Ham Alliteration - A strange sock Fact- Blue is the most popular sock colour choice for men. Opinion - I hate green socks. Rhetorical Question- I can’t be the only one who hates green socks. Can I ? Emotive language- I've had enough of these disgusting socks that sell in the worst establishments. Statistics- 30 % of people choose not to buy green socks. Triplet- Ghastly ,Giant ,Green socks (putting 3 adjectives in a row). Hyperbole – I must have a million pairs of socks lying around the house! Anecdote – I once knew a sock. He stank. Metaphor – The green sock was a monster lying in wait. Note: This list isn’t exhaustive – its just useful. Don’t forget: Modal verbs Imperative verbs (bossy verbs) Direct address Repetition Task: Find as many examples as possible in the letter. Highlight, annotate and write down the effect of the technique. Easy way to get them to have a go – get them to chose something random and write their own versions.

The writer uses_____________________________ to try and make the reader ____________________________. For example, ______ _____________________________________________________. The use of__________ with the word ‘_________’shows_________ __________________________________. This has a _____________ Effect because______________________________. This is/isn’t effective because_______________________________. REPEAT with another feature in the quote OR start again with a new quote

Question 4 Another comparison task Analysis is required Read the question carefully Question 2 is sort of a plan for this question

Model Response Compares ideas and perspectives The writer of source A uses_METHODs__ To show their view that____________. For example, “_________________ _____________________________.” The use of _______ shows_______ _____________________________. This is in direct contrast to Source B in which the writer uses _____________ To show________________________. For example, “_____________________ ______________________________.” The use of ______shows__________ ______________________________. Overall Source __ has a bigger impact on the reader because____________ ________________________________ Model Response Perceptive and detailed Compares ideas and perspectives Analyses how writer’s methods are used Selects a range of judicious supporting detail from both texts Shows a detailed understanding of the different ideas and perspectives in both texts You will need to tweak this for lower ability sets or students

The basics Question 5 You will have 45-50 minutes You will need to write a response to one question worth 40 marks (half the paper!) You will need to be able to write in a particular style to a particular audience in a particular format. You need to try and show the examiner that you can use techniques in your own writing and that you can organise your writing (paragraphs!)
