  2. Unit 2 exam: timing • The exam is 1hr 15mins • Section A : 45mins ( 1 question comparing 2 poems) • Section B: 30mins (1 question analysing and unseen poem • Check your timing throughout the exam – the unseen is worth 12% of the marks

  3. How you are assessed • Both sections of the exam: AO1 and AO2 • Section A : AO1, AO2 and AO3 (compare) • AO1: your response to the poems using quotes from the poems to support your ideas. Think about how other readers might interpret the poems • AO2: write about writers’ methods: language/structure/form • AO3: compare what the poems are about and the ways in which they are written

  4. Every paragraph… • PEED (POINT/EVIDENCE/EXPLAIN/DEVELOP • then compare…. • PEED 2nd poem • Do not makes points without supporting with a quotation – embed/focus on a specific word and its impact • Detailed interpretation of the language/method is essential - develop your analysis of language/methods to show sophistication

  5.

  6. Very useful words…. • Suggests • Reveals • Conveys • Implies • Similarly • In contrast • However • Some readers may feel… • Could/may/perhaps.. • A possible interpretation could be….

  7. Unseen Question • Read the poem and the question very carefully • The question will give a focus for your response • Highlight your key points on the poem • Ensure that each paragraph begins with a topic sentence that relates to the focus of the question • Every paragraph must have quotation to support you points • PEED • Don’t be intimidated - ‘this could suggest…’ ‘an interpretation of this line could be….’ ‘another reader could interpret this as….’

  8. Unseen – what to look for • Meaning • Imagery • Tone • Structure • Language • My Itchy Toe Smells Loads (thank you Mrs Taylor’s class)
