HL Paper 1

1. HL Paper 1 Issues/Problems/pull my hair out mistakes

2. Intro • TTSAP is our new acronym for the following • Text types • Titles of the text types • Summary of each text • Audience for each text • Purpose of each text • YOU cannot put the purpose or the audience in one of the final paragraphs or 3 paragraphs in as the purpose IS your argument and the audience links to your devices and how they are meant to be effected by the use of the devices.

3. visual • If you choose a text with a visual you had better discuss it or it will hurt you. • What is being implied through the visual, what is it trying to make the reader think/feel/understand?

4. Titles or headlines • Why would you ignore the titles of both or either piece?  • What is implied right away when it says, “NOW EQUIPPED WITH 3-WAY CALLING. YOU, WHOEVER YOU’RE DIEALING, AND THE GOVERNMENT.” OR “Big Buddy is Watching”.

5. DEVICES • New acronym • D – device and point about device • E – example from text to support • E – explain quotation and • E – intended effect on the target audience.

6. Most of you are mentioning a device and giving an example but then there is not really much explanation or effect on audience. THIS IS A PROBLEM.

7. ETHOS –pathos- logos • Ethos is NOT credibility – not solely anyway…. • Ethos, logos and pathos are all about building a sense of credibility BUT it is done through a specific venue: • Logos builds a sense of credibility by using factual information, statistics, expert testimony to seem like they have researched and are knowledable about what they are talking about.

8. Ethos • Ethos builds a sense of credibility by appealing to their target audiences values, beliefs, ethics…it does not matter if this comes from the Guardian, or BBC or Newsweek – this does not make the writer credible – they only seem credible through ethos because they have a appealed to a value, belief or ethic of their target audience – what is the ethos in this ACLU text?

9. Pathos • Pathos is not so much credibility as the writer seems credible because they ignite a specific intended emotion within their target audience – and then the audience feels a sense of comradeship/connection to the writer.

10. Text types • Please always double check your text types – most of you got the advertisement was an advertisement but some of you started calling it an article afterwards or started with it as an article then an advertisement -  • Most of you did not realize the letter was a letter and called it an article -  this changed a lot in terms of effect and purpose – first off both pieces will NEVER be the same text type. • Second, if the piece uses things like “I” or “we” or imagery and similies/metaphors it will not be an article – recheck your text type if you are saying it is subjective and you say news article or article, etc… unless you are looking at one line or two that you think makes it subjective despite being formal and serious and 3rd person.
