(15 marks) Similes, metaphors, alliteration, repetition, exaggeration, AFOREST? Verbs, adverbs, lexical fields, adjectives. What’s the difference here? Sentence length and style, punctuation use, pace?

  4. How does non-fiction engage readers? Example This extract describes the events leading up to the 1666 ‘Great Fire of London’. How does the writer structure the text to interest the reader? September 2, 1666 It was a small mistake, but with great consequences. On September 2, 1666, Thomas Farrinor, baker to King Charles II of England, failed, in effect, to turn off his oven. He thought the fire was out, but apparently the smouldering embers ignited some nearby firewood and by one o'clock in the morning, three hours after Farrinor went to bed, his house in Pudding Lane was in flames. Farrinor, along with his wife and daughter, and one servant, escaped from the burning building through an upstairs window, but the baker's maid was not so fortunate, becoming the Great Fire's first victim. Did these cakes set fire to London? The fire then leapt across Fish Street Hill and engulfed the Star Inn. The London of 1666 was a city of half-timbered, pitch-covered medieval buildings and sheds that ignited at the touch of a spark--and a strong wind on that September morning ensured that sparks flew everywhere. From the Inn, the fire spread into Thames Street, where riverfront warehouses were bursting with oil, tallow, and other combustible goods. By now the fire had grown too fierce to combat with the crude firefighting methods of the day, which consisted of little more than bucket brigades armed with wooden pails of water. The usual solution during a fire of such size was to demolish every building in the path of the flames in order to deprive the fire of fuel, but the city's mayor hesitated, fearing the high cost of rebuilding. Meanwhile, the fire spread out of control, doing far more damage than anyone could possibly have managed. Extract taken from the diary of Samuel Pepys Can you find and analyse the following? • A contrast • Foreshadowing • Time/temporal reference • Questions • Focus shift/ TIPTOP? • Effect of the ending?

  5. Write – three things it made you think of… it out! of something new to say! How can you use this analysis to create your own anagram or framework to answer the question?

  6. Find three of each in the extract… Q3.Analyse how the writer uses language and structure to interest and engage readers. Text 1! Support your views with detailed reference to the text • . Yes we hate PEE And we don’t want to limit you But you must use quotes Or you can’t get past a level 2!

  7. Now we get ready to write… you have 20 minutes! You're just doing q3 over and over again… You can now write three paragraphs in ten minutes so… what are we looking for here? Analyse how the writer uses language and structure to interest and engage readers. Support your views with detailed reference to the text • Use quotes every time and try to embed! • Link to language and structure! 3,2, 1! • Link to effect on the reader. • Use technical vocab. • Write each new point in a new paragraph. • Say it makes the reader want to read on. • Ignore the question. • Use only three examples. • Forget to keep an eye on the time! • Retell the extract!

  8. Every time you have used technical vocab… • Every time you have used a quote… • Every time you have linked to the question… • Every time you have talked about language and structure! You should have all four in each paragraph!

  9. Mark a friends…can you give them meaningful feedback?
