This is what u should have in a paragraph

SHORT QUOTATIONS - picking concise and useful quotations to use as evidence.

SUBJECT TERMINOLOGY - methods that are used by the writer (language devices).

CONNOTATIONS - zooming in on 1-3 words from the short quotation and using them to highlight your point/evidence.

CONTEXT - revisiting your initial idea/point and you can reiterate/summarise it here.

CONNECT - linking back all your ideas to the question/overall effect on the reader.

Q2 paper one is about language. What’s the layout

The writer uses (THE METHOD) when we are told that/when they describe...¿EMBED

This (METHOD) is designed to make the reader feel... (explain how this language device can be used to affect the reader on the surface).

The writer then builds upon this idea, through the use of the (WORD TYPE) ".." This has connotations of... this can mean that... (zoom in on 1-3 words that highlight and emphasise the point we have made above).
