Re-phrase the question into a statement for yourself to clarify focus and ensure coherence The writer presents Jonathan as a failure as a father and husband. How far do you agree with this view? [10] Have you re-phrased the question into a statement / decision made on which to focus your answer and evidence location? 2019 Jonathon is mostly a failure as a father and a husband.

[10] This focus supports students in taking a coherent stance. 2018 There is a change in both Emma and Robbie, although more so in Emma and the change is not particularly lasting. In the last 20 or so lines of this passage, Patricia becomes a real heroine. How far do you agree with this view? [10] 2017 Patricia does appear tobecome a real heroine.
Make your opinion clear at the start and stick to it Be logical and form a unitised overview Have you decided on an opinion and clearly stated it? (Remember, the passage has been chosen carefully for a reason by Eduqas, so there is likely to be more to agree with, but read the statement very carefully and highlight key words before writing a response) The writer presents Jonathan as a failure as a father and husband. How far do you agree with this view? [10] 2019 I mostly agree that Jonathon is presented a failure as a father and a husband throughout the text, as he is persistently seen to be The writer uses the walk to Wreck Island to show a change in both Emma and Robbie. How far do you agree with this view? [10] Have you started your answer with an overview? 2018 I mostly agree there are some changes in both Emma and Robbie after the walk to Wreck Island, although arguably short-lived as Emma starts off but by the end This focus supports students in taking a coherent stance. In the last 20 or so lines of this passage, Patricia becomes a real heroine. How far do you agree with this view? [10] 2017 I mostly agree that Patricia does become a real heroine in the last 20 lines or so as she started off but by the end
Consider the specified passage as a whole: track text carefully from beginning, throughout and to the end Range (approx. 7-10) of quotations / references to support evaluation Have you tracked the text carefully from beginning, throughout and to the end? Have you picked a range (approx. 7-10) quotations / To answer this question you need to read references to support your evaluation? lines 56-70 and also consider the passage Tracking and quotation range supports students in maintaining a coherent answer. as a whole.
Use words from the question in your answer in order to ensure you are focused and coherent (The writer presents / I agree / I disagree / I think / I feel ) Embed your range (approx. 7-10) of quotations into your sentences Make short and precise commentsexplaining the impression made by the writer The writer uses the walk to Wreck Island to show a change in both Emma and Robbie. Have you used words from the question in your answer? Have you embedded your range (approx. 7-10) of quotations into your sentences? Have you made short and precise comments explaining the impression made by the writer? How far do you agree with this view? [10] I mostly agree that the writer uses the walk to Wreck Island to show some changes in both Emma and Robbie (although arguably short-lived) as Emma starts off appearing to be lively, independent and physically adventurous , whereas, by the end she is judged both by herself and others to be a damn fool for her reckless behaviour Focusing on the question, embedding quotations and keeping comments short and precise supports students in maintaining a coherent answer. Although she feels at the start that she was in love with Robbie , her attention appears to be waning as she was feeling the need for some time apart from him. However, their life-threatening experience on the walk appears to have affected her greatly as she gives the impression that she regrets taking him for granted as she felt terrible and asks Robbie, what have I done to you? returning the focus to Robbie rather than herself, suggesting the walk to Wreck Island has made her less selfish
Conclude with an evaluative overview to maintain coherence The writer uses the walk to Wreck Island to show a change in both Emma and Robbie. How far do you agree with this view? [10] Overall, the writer clearly does use the life affirming experience of surviving the walk to Wreck Island to show some degree of change in both Emma and Robbie as they contemplate their relationship and treatment of one another with Emma feeling terrible and guilty and Robbie almost killed . Nevertheless, by the end of the passage, they appear to have returned to normality and reverted to type as they flew back to the real world with Robbie even more grumpy than usual and Emma left wondering whether she really wanted to marry Robbie after all , suggesting that their experience only had a temporary effect. Have you concluded with an evaluative overview? This concluding focus supports students in maintaining a coherent answer right to the end.
