Extended Writing You are going to write an essay answering the question: How does Miller create dramatic tension in Act 1 of ‘Death of a Salesman’? Spend 10 minutes on gathering your ideas—use a spider diagram to help you arrange your thoughts. You must plan your answer logically and use PEEL throughout.

Dramatic Tension occurs when… There is a conflict between characters When characters are frustrated When the audience or certain characters know information that others don’t know (Dramatic Irony) When withheld information is hinted at

Dramatic Tension is created by… Characters getting angry with each other: often denoted by short sentences, exclamation marks and strong language Stage directions giving extra information Conversations between characters about other characters/situations Secrets being unveiled

Before you write. Find 5 or 6 points that you can make in response to the question Check that you have at least one suitable (and short) quotation for each point; do not use the same quotation for two points List the most logical order to present your points, it does not necessarily have to be a chronological order although this can sometimes be an effective structure. Link your thoughts together by using connectives and clear topic sentences at the start of each paragraph
