Task 1: Close Reading: How To Get Full Marks

It is tempting to jump straight in and start writing immediately. However, following this guide will ensure you answer the question in the way the examiners are looking for.

Each task for the NEA has a dominant Assessment Objective (AO). For this task, the dominant objective is AO2, which requires you to analyse the ways in which the writer of the extract or poem has used language, form and structure to shape meanings. The minor objective for this task is AO1, which assesses you on the way you present your response, in an accurate and coherent manner, so as long as you keep your response sharply focused on the question and the passage or poem, you will hit this objective. The following sections explore the skills you will need to demonstrate mastery of in more detail:
