Advice for tackling context question?

I'm worried about the context question on the exam because we don't get any sort of choice- it's just one question on your context, and that's the one you have to do.

I was wondering if anybody has any tips on how to approach the question, think of body paragraphs etc? Especially if it's on something you're not too sure of/ haven't thought much about?

Usually this one question will be very broad, so it enables students to at least write something for this section (hopefully it's like that this year).

I hate context too, probably my worst area in English... not probably, it IS the worst section for me..
But my teacher always say to question the prompt, and then some of these questions become your body paragraphs, for example:
Our identity determines where we belong
Body 1. When does our identity determine where we belong
Body 2. What else determines where we belong
Body 3. Give personal anecdote or an example from a movie, another book, or anywhere else you can think of

And then in each of these body paragraphs try and link the story which you are studying. If not all, then at least in one of them..

Thank you for that, shivneil.lal!

Good luck for tomorrow! Hopefully you get a nice, broad context prompt for I&B. :)
