3. This text is from the beginning of a short story. How has the writer structured the text to interest you as a reader? The source begins with some initial background on Mr Fisher: we can visualize him in a domestic setting, his ‘small terraced house’, and also his workplace, a ‘form room’ at school, so a whole character is being established. The focus then narrows to his thoughts on teaching creative writing, and his gradual disenchantment over the years. This is shown structurally by alternating between the present and the past. First we learn that this school term has been ‘’disappointing’ for him because he has struggled to engage his students’ interest. Then in the middle section of the text, reference to ‘the old days’, followed by ‘Mr Fisher remembered’ heralds a flashback to a previous time. He describes a colourful past, filled with students whose ‘imaginations soared’, and when the focus then returns to the present time and everything is ‘now in black and white’ the reader understands how disillusioned Mr Fisher has become with teaching.

Q4 Evaluate
TOP TIPS
Agree with the statement – but you can be critical of parts if you have sufficient evidence to back yourself up!Find the evidence from the text to support the statement being made by the student.
You are expected to write about the language and the structure of the text (you will need to use all of the skills you have used in Q2 and 3)
Re-use any relevant quotes/analysis from Q2 and 3 as the examiner will never know!
You can’t go wrong if you explicitly write about the language and structure of the text, the effect and how it links back to the statement.
The student’s statement is completely accurate as…

04. Focus this part of your answer on the second part of the source, from line 25 to the end.
A student said, ‘This part of the story, where Mr Fisher is marking homework, shows Tibbet’s story is better than Mr Fisher expected, and his reaction is extreme.’
To what extent do you agree? In your response, you could:
write about your own impressions of what Mr Fisher expected Tibbet’s homework to be like
evaluate how the writer conveys Mr Fisher’s reaction to what he discovers
support your opinions with quotations to the text [20 marks]

Challenge: perceptive understanding, judicious range of quotes with sophisticated and accurate use of terminology
Mr Fisher is resigned to his students’ lack of imagination and we learn that his expectations of Tibbet are low: despite ‘a spark in him which deserved attention’, Tibbet is not a ‘brilliant scholar by any means’ and ‘had obviously done part of his homework on the bus’. Mr Fisher even ‘took a deep breath’ before marking Tibbet’s book, the triple ‘home; dinner; bed’ emphasising to the reader domestic distractions he would rather be doing. However, when he reads Tibbet’s story, I think Mr Fisher is astounded because it is unique, totally fresh and ‘something entirely original’. He experiences a moment of sudden realisation that is so profound that he will never look on life in the same way again. Everything he previously believed about stories has been shattered, and his reaction is not only emotional but physical. The writer conveys this by juxtaposing short, snappy sentences with long, complex ones to imitate the stages of astonishment Mr Fisher goes through. ‘His breathing quickened, stopped, quickened again’ suggests he is swiftly scanning through Tibbet’s homework in disbelief, the rhythm mirroring his rapid heartbeat. This is followed by a lengthy sentence that includes the phrase ‘re-reading every word slowly and with meticulous care.’
