update?

A bit late ?

I’m so happy it helped. Good luck!!

That's great! I can have a look for it now because I forgot where I'd nicked it from at first! Thanks for letting me know where to find the original...and the whole scheme. Cool!

Well, the mark scheme says 'textual reference' so it doesn't DEMAND quotes. I think that you could probably get a level 5 without quotes but for anything higher, I would expect students to zoom in on the odd word. The key is analysing methods so it seems likely you'd talk about language. If you then don't focus on certain words then I'm fairly sure you'd lose out on some marks

That's great. Pleased to help :-)

Jack Finn you are comparing perspectives AND analysing methods which DO include language & structure. 2nd bullet point AND mark scheme are explicit on this

so mrbruff is wrong? thought he was a legend

He IS a legend and this question is about perspectives and points of view.BUT the mark scheme for this exam explicitly states 'writers' methods'. Here is what AQA gave as a top mark response to this question... The writers of Source A and Source B have contrasting perspectives on the weather due to their very diverse circumstances: Matt Dickinson is facing a life and death ordeal on Everest and Arthur Munby is exploring the silent snowscape of 1867 London. By employing the first person in the form of a factual account and a diary extract, the writers offer an insight into their different perspectives on time, place and atmosphere. In Source A, Dickinson conveys a strong feeling of vulnerability when faced with an unprecedented storm. He achieves this through personifying the wind as a ‘bullying force’, thus implying Mother Nature is treating the climbers with contempt, punishing them, maybe even toying with them, until they experience nothing but fear and intimidation. This is in complete contrast to the writer of Source B who walks the streets of London in contemplative silence. His focus is on its aesthetic charm rather than its debilitating effects on the city and its homeless. Far from Dickinson’s view of the weather as a life-threatening force, Munby appreciates the positive transformation which the weather brings, using the phrase ‘an exquisite tracery of white branches’ to describe the beauty of the scene. As well as the visual changes, he is delighted at the muted sounds that the snow brings in comparison to the ‘roar and rush of wheels’ that the city usually suffers. This is in direct contrast to the writer of Source A, who is terrified by the noise of the storm. His fear of this almost supernatural force is again shown through the use of personification. The choice of the nouns ‘scream’ and ‘howl’, words which are more commonly used as adjectives, emphasises the horror of the situation, a horror that culminates in the death of eight climbers.

i love you damn i would have lost so much marks if i never saw this vid, thank you so much mrs this question was causing me alot of stress but i feel alot better now

That's great. It's all about knowing exactly what they're looking for and making sure you hit the right criteria. Wishing you all the luck in the world for tomorrow. Hopefully the texts are a bit better than 'The Tiredness of Rosabel' Pfffft!

Ok...I'll do some full responses- it's just my classes often get bored with longer vids! :-)

Me too

It sure did

Yey! That makes me happy! Glad to help Mrs W

Emily X good luck for tomorrow

Love it! Good luck!

Good luck. Don't be scared... you've got this!

Yes! And with that slightly harder element of comparison.

Mrs Whelan's English so is it also talking about da forest if you know what that is ???

Sara X Are u ready for the exam tomorrow? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sara X hi, yes daforest can apply to your writing as well as being techniques you can find in the sources

Bangtanaf I'm sure it will be.

Elena Marinescu where did you get the past paper from as it's the first year doing it???❤️

i used the specimen for the new spec because theres really not a lot for the new spec

I used the specimen for the new spec on the AQA website x

Thank you!!!!

Hey do you know where I could find the mark scheme? thanks

not really...you might touch on it when analysing methods but nothing specific for this in the mark scheme

Thanks very much! Just want to say thank you for all your help. Your videos are extremely useful!:)

The examiners all mark different questions, so they won't see your previous answers. That means you can just rehash your answers from Q1, 2 and 3 and throw those ideas into Q4. Remember to bring it back to the similarities and differences in viewpoint.

N0BLE N0VA 117 5-6

John Smith I think different examiners mark different questions so it's very likely that they won't know about what you did on previous questions.

I dont think you get marks for planning

Danger Kano q3 & 4

Mrs Whelan's English thanks so much you are such a great help!!!

If it says 'differences' then really just focus on that. You might find they have a similar but different perspective (if that makes sense?!) E.g They both have powerful reactions to weather; one is focused on beauty and the other on the danger of extreme conditions. Something like that would be ok but don't confuse yourself!

OK yep that makes sense, thank you

And how many of these paragraphs do we need to write?

Priya Lehal yes- analyse the methods- how/why the writer uses them to convey points of view

meee

you can't bring in what the effects on readers are in question 2 due to it being solely a summary of the differences question whereas question 4 demonstrates a range of skills such as explaining the effects on the readers and making inferences. :)

Thanks!!

Hi, definitely not Q2. In Q4 you might touch on effects as part of analysing the writers' methods

Mrs Whelan's English thanks Miss!

Get u a 9

Writer's perspective is viewing the purpose he wrote

jaffry jaman nahhh

ha! Sorry if they distract...I'll trim them for the next one :-)

Harshini Naresh why are you telling her what to do lol. Its your job to make sure you don't get distracted just be thankful to Mrs Whelan that she's making helpful videos

Hi Mrs Whelan sorry !!! Just for fun I texted it , please have those beautiful nails !

Gacha Amethyst STFU! Some of us have this exam today. The ACTUAL GCSE!

1= four statements 2=2 paragraphs 3= 3 paragraphs

Thank you!

message me on my email if there is any problem . vatsals067@gmail.com

Yes you can, I would label it as a plan

It’s totally fine… in fact examiners quite like to see a plan. I’d maybe label it as ‘Plan’
