Is anyone doing Tracks and Into the Wild for their comparative SAC? I'm yet to find another school doing it! If anyone is, do you want to swap notes/practice essays to marks? It'd be great to get someone else's perspective

 Thanks for the great post! Im just unsure about 1 thing you talked about:
 - Para 1: 70% on text A; 30% on text B
   - Para 2: 20% on text A; 80% on text B
   - Para 2: 60% on text A; 40% on text B

Why do you suggest using these rations in comparative essays? Is is because if you talk about it 50:50, it will be a way to big paragraph or...?

I think what she's trying to say is that you don't have to write the same amount on both texts in each para; for example, if theres more relevant info from text one that relates to your first body paragraph, talk more about your first text, but make sure you make up for it by focusing more on text two in a different body paragraph
