Full Mark Response Structure
Intro - Overall message to carry throughout response - general response to the question.
Break down this idea into a few points to explore in the essay, but don’t include these points
in the thesis, explore them in each paragraph and link them to the overall
argument/message.
Para - One of the “breakdown” points. Begin with a statement presenting this point. Pick a
quote or feature and analyse this BUT it must be supporting the argument you have
introduced at the beginning. Alternative interpretation possibly. Explain the effects on the
reader then embed context to also support your point. Final linking sentence to refer back to
your original point and overall message.
Conclusion - quick summary of all the points and how they support the original overall
argument/message ‘In conclusion, (author) has crafted (poem) to show (prompt) through
their use of…(summary of what you talked about) - link to context
