Hello We are moving to AQA from OCR for our English provision. I have queries concerning papers 1 and 2 for 8700 English Language. Some of the online 'support' and guidance varies massively in determining AQA's expectations for the questions, hence my post today. I understand that the quality of answers overrides quantity and that perceptive answers outscore the more obvious. Having said that - in the region of how many observations should students be making for each question? For example, Paper 1 Qu 2 - language observations - 3, 4, 5? Qu 3 - structure - 3, 4, 5? And for Qu 4 - how many structure observations might be expected alongside the language ones? Paper 2 - Qu 2 - how many similarities / differences? 3, 4, 5? How many points might you expect for Qu 3 and 4?

Glad it was helpful! Good luck for your resits!!
yo ricardo are you from barrow hall college?

yes you are allowed
Amazing video thanks so much miss
Mocks for this tomorrow
idk about the english but i was very focused all video
i’m not sure about the application towards different questions tho ???
Real
would you suggest to write about the beginning, middle and end, making it 3 PEEL paragraphs?
Juxtapose beginning vs middle or beginning vs end in one PEEL paragraph, then another structure observation in a separate PEEL paragraph.

Can you help me out here arnt you not able to say stuff about sentence structure in q3 as it is language
what is the structure device called when the story starts different and ends different
I don’t think there is one
among us
juxtaposed ending
linear vs cyclic
Yap master
If the beginning and ending are different can I still write circular narrative,can you pls reply
Definitely not. Circular means beginning and ending MUST be the same / similar.
Then what should I write for the beginning and ending as an strong beginning.
If the sources are different at the end and beginning then you can say they are juxtaposed.
