Section B

Advice from the board:
• Students need to think carefully about the question and
   decide which texts or parts of text will best answer the
   question
• The central focus is the ‘aspect of narrative’ that is set up
   in the question
• Students need to relate this ‘aspect’ to the stories of each
   text
• This aspect will be written about in three different ways
• The texts will be connected by this aspect; there is no
   further need to connect or compare
You are going to select a section B
     question from the lucky dip.

• What aspect of narrative is the question
  directing you to focus on?

• Which texts would you use?

• For novels, or longer poems, which section of
  the text would you use?
Brainstorm key points
(relating to the aspect of
narrative in the question)
                                Form:
about language, form and
structure for the three
                              resulting
texts you will answer on
                             overall style

                         Structure: how the
                          text has been put
                               together

                  Language: words; images
                    sentence structures;
                punctuation; stage directions
Section B: How to Address AO3


• The invitation to address meanings and
  interpretations is clearly set up in the questions
• It is often signalled by the word ‘significance’
• This word is also often used in Section A, the even numbered
  questions (for example: What significance can you find in the
  title Digging to America?)
• Significance is about what is signified, about what
  meanings arise
• Here it is how readers find meanings in the aspect of
  narrative that is the focus of the question
Example:
   “In a narrative, there is usually a hero or heroine, a protagonist on whose fate the readers’ interest in
   the story principally rests.”
   Write about the significance of protagonists in the narratives of the three writers you have studied.

                      ‘Ulysses’, ‘Lady of                   ‘Gatsby’                  ‘Enduring Love’
                           Shallott’

Significance      U – telling his own story                                   Joe – narrates his own story, directs
                  LS – follow her, focus is on her                            attention, represents science
                  and remains with her                                        Jed – invades that
                                                                              story, antagonist, religion

Language          U – personal, boastful,                                     Joe –characterised by his own
                  arrogant, future – his own,                                 language, scientific and
                  contrasts with his son,                                     detailed, interest created because of
                  first=person                                                what he says, or doesn’t say, self-
                  LS – descriptive, contrasts to     Complete a grid/plan     aware narrator who maintains our
                  characterise the Lady               for your Section B      interest

Form &            U – first person monologue,         question and texts      Narrating in hindsight, biased, uses
structure         directs attention his story                                 fractions to allow other voices to be
                  LS – narrative poem, Lady in                                heard – Clarissa and Jed’s letters –
                  each stanza, crisis towards                                 these increase interest in Joe and
                  end                                                         help characterise him
Interpretations   U – fate interests the readers,                             Biased, is the narrative truthful,

                  narrative stays with her

Section b lucky dip

  • 1. Section B Advice from the board: • Students need to think carefully about the question and decide which texts or parts of text will best answer the question • The central focus is the ‘aspect of narrative’ that is set up in the question • Students need to relate this ‘aspect’ to the stories of each text • This aspect will be written about in three different ways • The texts will be connected by this aspect; there is no further need to connect or compare
  • 2. You are going to select a section B question from the lucky dip. • What aspect of narrative is the question directing you to focus on? • Which texts would you use? • For novels, or longer poems, which section of the text would you use?
  • 3. Brainstorm key points (relating to the aspect of narrative in the question) Form: about language, form and structure for the three resulting texts you will answer on overall style Structure: how the text has been put together Language: words; images sentence structures; punctuation; stage directions
  • 4. Section B: How to Address AO3 • The invitation to address meanings and interpretations is clearly set up in the questions • It is often signalled by the word ‘significance’ • This word is also often used in Section A, the even numbered questions (for example: What significance can you find in the title Digging to America?) • Significance is about what is signified, about what meanings arise • Here it is how readers find meanings in the aspect of narrative that is the focus of the question
  • 5. Example: “In a narrative, there is usually a hero or heroine, a protagonist on whose fate the readers’ interest in the story principally rests.” Write about the significance of protagonists in the narratives of the three writers you have studied. ‘Ulysses’, ‘Lady of ‘Gatsby’ ‘Enduring Love’ Shallott’ Significance U – telling his own story Joe – narrates his own story, directs LS – follow her, focus is on her attention, represents science and remains with her Jed – invades that story, antagonist, religion Language U – personal, boastful, Joe –characterised by his own arrogant, future – his own, language, scientific and contrasts with his son, detailed, interest created because of first=person what he says, or doesn’t say, self- LS – descriptive, contrasts to Complete a grid/plan aware narrator who maintains our characterise the Lady for your Section B interest Form & U – first person monologue, question and texts Narrating in hindsight, biased, uses structure directs attention his story fractions to allow other voices to be LS – narrative poem, Lady in heard – Clarissa and Jed’s letters – each stanza, crisis towards these increase interest in Joe and end help characterise him Interpretations U – fate interests the readers, Biased, is the narrative truthful, very significant, don’t hear allows us to see different from others interpretations of the title LS – poem named after her, narrative stays with her
  • 6. Work for Tuesday • You will be spending 1 hour answering your section B question from today, so bring your texts. This will be in exam conditions. • The second hour will should be used for making a revision chart for your four texts: on the A3 handout.
