Hi Everyone,
So I was just wondering how many quotes we are meant to include for a 6 mark question that focuses on just one text? (I know how a 6 marker comparative we do a mini-essay structure, but I wasn't sure if this also applied for just one text...) Thanks!

Hey, sroe!
Great question :D I basically recommend a mini-essay structure for questions with 6 marks and above regardless of whether it is for one text or two. With two texts, you would have a body per text but with a single text, you could explore two contrasting ideas/representations/perspectives presented. For example, if you get a question asking you to discuss the individual and collective human experiences explored in Text 4, you might look at individual experiences for the first body paragraph and collective experiences for the second. I recommend having two quotes per body paragraph (4 in total) for a 6 marker which is sufficient for the marks and gives you room to compare the contrasting ideas represented and synthesise them in relation to your understanding of the module. Hope that makes sense!

Hello.
I'm new here so I dont really know how things work around here, but I was hoping that someone could help me out with English stuff.
So for the common mod, we are doing The Crucible at school and for my related text, I chose to do Lamb to the Slaughter. I sort of understand how the two texts relate, but I need an in-depth explanation of how to connect them. I'm so confused. Can someone please help me out?
Thank you!
