  1. SATs Shakespeare Paper

  2. PEE Point Evidence (quote) Explanation

  3. Focuses for exam: • Character and motivation • The performance of the play • The language of the text • Ideas, themes and issues

  4. Character and motivation: • The question could ask what we learn about the characters, the reasons for their behaviour and their relationships with each other • E.g. How important is (?) role in these two extracts? • E.g. Show how and why (?) behaviour changes in these two extracts

  5. The performance of the play: • The question may be about how an audience reacts to the play, or how you would direct a particular character in the two extracts. • How do you want them to act and react and why? • If you want them to scowl as they say something you need to explain what this will show e.g. his disgust, his fear

  6. The language of the text: • Understanding the language is important and you could have a question about what a character says and what you think they really mean • E.g. (quote given) explore the significance of this statement in relation to these two extracts.

  7. Ideas, themes and issues: • The plays deal with a number of issues, so the question might ask you about how the characters are involved • E.g. Comparing your two extracts explain how the issue of (?) is explored

  8. Tackle that question: • Read the question • Read the question again and pick out the key words (think about the focuses I have just talked about) • Read through your extracts • Jot down/plan what things you want to include • Read the question again • Begin (make sure you compare and write in essay style)
