Title: Sample Responses For Elective?
Post by: BakerDad12 on August 25, 2020, 07:26:19 pm
Hey guys, I'm struggling with understanding a 'structure' for the elective response. Practising myself is helping, but it's hard without a sample or exemplar response I can use to gauge where my piece is at. Do you guys have any sample responses you can share with me? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you did!

Hey, BakerDad12!

You could check out these sample essays from our Free Notes section  :) I don't know whether you are doing these electives but you can see what an exemplar standard response is like  :D I also attached my After the Bomb essay which, although was for the old syllabus, might help you with structuring your response.

Worlds of Upheaval
Re-imagined Worlds
After the Bomb

If you wanted more directed advice to your texts, could you just let me know which ones you're studying?

Hi, thanks for the response! We are doing Reimagined Worlds, so that essay link you posted will definitely help, thanks :) We are doing Life on Mars, Left Hand of Darkness and Pan's Labyrinth.
