    How to answer Q4 on the

    Language Paper 1

    LQ: To observe and practice the key elements


    required in the exam.
    Starter

    Write down 3 things you remember about how
    to answer q3.

    You have 5 minutes.
    Q4- Key things to remember

    The question is worth 20 marks and you
    should allocate 25 minutes to answer it.

    You should therefore treat it as if it is a
    mini-essay and write 6-8 paragraphs,
    however: Remember it isn’t about the
    Quantity of your writing but the
    Quality!
    How will the question be structured?

    The question will ask you to focus on a
    particular part of the text. Usually the end.

    For example it might say “Focus this part Remember the bullet points
    of your answer on the second part of the Are only reminding you to use
    source from lines 19 to the end.” PQA writing. Not telling you what
    To include.

    You will then receive a statement from a
    reader – or a student- giving an opinion on
    the text. You’ll be asked to respond to it:
    “to what extent do you agree?”
    So what is the question asking?

    You need to respond to the statement and give both sides of the
    argument as it is an evaluation question.

    You must discuss the narrative voice and contrasts and conflicts
    – all fiction texts use these.
    What am I being marked on?

    You are being marked on these 4 things:
     your use of references,
     your exploration of the writer’s methods,
     your response to the statement
     your comments on the effects achieved by the writer
    When answering the question I should...

    Use a PQA or PEEL format

    Include an additional “Linking to the statement”
    comment at the end of each PQA paragraph you do.

    Write for 25 minutes and include about 6-8 paragraphs.

    Make sure you use language like, “Although, Perhaps,
    However” in order to show you are discussing different
    points of view ( or different sides to the argument).
    Structuring a PQA (with extras)
    POINT – 
    Point: The writer (always use their surname)
    uses technique/device to show………


    For example, ‘evidence’
    QUOTATION- 
    suggests that… (explain what it suggests.)
    ANALYSIS- 
    Zoom in on specific words or phrases to
    analyse.

    Link to context: What did it mean for the
    Victorian/Edwardians? What is different then
    LINK TO CONTEXT:
    compared with now?
    + (Think Feel Imagine)- 
    Think Feel Imagine: How does this effect the
    reader?
    Example Question
    Q4. Focus this part of your answer on the second part of the Source from line 19 to the
    end.
    A student, having read this section of the text, said: ‘The writer makes the reader feel
    sympathetic for the narrator.’
    To what extent do you agree?
    In your response, you could:
     write about your own impressions of the narrator
     evaluate how the writer has created these impressions
     support your opinions with references to the text
    [20 marks]
    Lets Break down the question
    Q4. Focus this part of your answer on the second part of the Source from line 19 to the
    end.
    A student, having read this section of the text, said: ‘The writer makes the reader feel
    sympathetic for the narrator.’
    To what extent do you agree?
    In your response, you could: Statement

     evaluate how the writer has created these impressions
     support your opinions with references to the text Denotes the need
    [20 marks] To produce more
    Remember the bullet points Than one
    Are only reminding you to use POV
    PQA writing. Not telling you what
    To include.
