Remember to factor in reading time! You have two sources to read, potentially both longer than 1 A4 page! Question One Just shade the correct box Writing a summary Lets have a look at an example question.. Read the question. Highlight the question. Read the question. Read the two sources. Highlight the relevant information in both sources. Read the question.

Answer the question. How many paragraphs do you think you should write for a 8 mark question? Brushing up on your summary skills.. Shorter than the original Focussing on what the question has asked you to look at Includes only the main points from both sources. Is objective Included in-text references (quotations where

appropriate) Fun Fact: The SAMs have all been about the differences between the two sources, but AQA have said they may ask for the similarities. Make sure youve read the question and know what its asking you to do!!! Quick fire comparisons with quotes to support no need for analysis. In Source A the writer says___________________________________, for example, ____________________________________________. Whereas Source B is different because_________________________ ______________________________. For example, _____________ ________________________________________________________. Repeat 3 times Question 3 looking at language What technique is used?

What is the effect on the reader? Is the writer successful? Question 3: A Forest Ham Note: Alliteration - A strange sock Fact- Blue is the most popular sock colour choice for men.
