Here is a modelled response from today’s lesson.

Please note the following:

• Structure- Opening two sentences offer a thesis statement and a reading of the image. There is a clear reading/interpretation of the image.
• The body paragraph starts with a topic sentence.
• There is a clear attempt to link the conventions explored in the response.
• The response is succinct and coherent.
• It offers a clear and consistent reading.
• Key words from the question are used to reinforce the main reading of the text.
• There is an attempt at using sophisticated language.
• The annotations in black show where the assessment criteria has been met.
• The annotations in green are where I’ve explicitly linked conventions and reading of the text.
• The annotations in red are where I’ve analysed the text in a sophisticated manner.

The image can be downloaded. It uses the modelled response from the archive (October 2017) as its basis which in turn was taken from the ‘Good Answers’ guide.

Please make sure you understand the assessment criteria and that you practice the structure in advance of your assessment on Friday.
