KEY RECOMMENDATIONS from the examiner’s report at least a third and up to a half of the response should be devoted to analysis of the passage LITA1C analysis of the passage. It is perfectly acceptable for candidates to focus on the extract for the first half of their answer, then spend the second half writing about their relevant wider reading. However, more confident and sophisticated candidates will produce integrated responses in which their comments on theextract and their wider reading comparisons are interwoven throughout the answer.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS from the examiner’s report 2013 As ever, the extracts used in Question 1 will relate to at least one of these key areas of the Struggle for Identity: Gender Ethnicity Sexual Orientation Religion Cultural Diversity Class Discrimination Self-knowledge and Autonomy Alienation and Dislocation Issues of Inequality caused by all or any of the above KEY RECOMMENDATIONS from the examiner’s report 2013 As ever, the extracts used in Question 1 will relate to at least one of these key areas of the Struggle for Identity: Gender Ethnicity Sexual Orientation Religion Cultural Diversity Class Discrimination Self-knowledge and Autonomy Alienation and Dislocation Issues of Inequality caused by all or any of the above sophisticated language, topic sentence, developed analysis, analytical terminology, context, struggle presented, comparative language

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS from the examiner’s report Unfortunately, some candidates only cite two genres when referring to their Wider Reading. They should refer to prose, poetry and drama. Omitting a genre will limit the mark awarded to a candidate – and merely mentioning the title of a text in passing cannot be credited as an acceptable wider reading reference.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS from the examiner’s report Similarly, some candidates struggle to move beyond re-telling the story when attempting to establish links to their wider reading. Plot-based links may take candidates into Band 2 for Assessment Objectives 3 and 4, but to access the higher bands of the mark scheme they need to use relevant quotations and explore the ways writers use form, structure and language to create effects in the wider reading texts. So you need to start LEARNING SOME WIDER READING QUOTATIONS!!!

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS from the examiner’s report To sum up, in answering Question 1 successful candidates will: explore the ways the writer’s thoughts and feelings about aspects of the Struggle for Identity are presented in the extract establish a range of links between the extract and their wider reading Quote from their wider reading refer to all three literary genres when writing about their wider reading, commenting on the writers’ choices of form, structure and language, as well as subject matter.
