Title: Language analysis question
Post by: lalala on October 27, 2009, 11:43:40 pm
For the language analysis....does it matter if we don't analyze heaps of techniques...but go into detail with the few that we have identified??

That's what I normally do.

Yeah definitely.. Provided you focus on the most prominent/effective techniques and language.. Afterall you really only have about 55 minutes to write it.

I usually do graphic and headline in one paragraph, or if I can milk a lot from both then I'll do them seperately. Then I move through one or two other techniques.

Only one or two? Won't you get penalized for missing all the other techniques within the article?

Depending on how long the article is (and whether there is one or two passages) choose 3 -- 5 of the most effective or cleverest (the ones most kids won't pick upon) and analyse them in depth.
