Louisa Withers


Anthology: Paris (Remembered Places)
Paper 1 (Section A - 40 Marks)

Mark Scheme:

AO1- Apply concepts and methods from integrated linguistics and literary study as appropriate, using
associated terminology and coherent written expressions (15 marks).
● This rewards students’ ability to apply concepts and methods from integrated linguistic and
literary study to literary and non-literary material. AO1 also rewards the ability to maintain an
academic style throughout the essay.

AO3- Demonstrate understanding of the significance and influence of the contexts in which texts are
produced and received (15 marks).

● This relates to students’ ability to explore the significance and the influence of contextual
factors on the production and reception offered by different genres and text types, and
examine why writers and speakers choose to communicate using various forms.


AO4- ​Explore connections across texts, informed by linguistics and literary concepts and methods (10
marks).

● This relates to the students’ ability to make connections between texts, exploring their
similarities and differences in the light of how the writers and speakers represent place.



The following key is used for transcriptions:

(.) - indicates a pause of less that a second

(2) - indicates a longer pause (number of seconds indicated)

Bold​ - indicates stressed syllables or words

: : - indicates elongation of a word

((italics)) - indicates contextual or additional information

[ ] - indicates the start and end points of simultaneous speech



GRAMP:

G​enre - the ​category of literary composition.

R​epresentation - ​the depiction of a thing, person or idea in written, visual, performed or spoken
language.

Type of question for anthology

"Compare and contrast how the writers of these texts express their ideas about people living in or
visiting Paris."

You should refer to both texts in your answer (40 marks)

Start the answer with the lines "Text A is an extract from..." and "Text B is an extract from..."

In this question, even though you are comparing the texts, AO3 (context) is more important than AO4
(exploring connections across texts), meaning context needs to be talked about in a somewhat
greater deal than the similarities/differences between the texts. AO1 is also important as well, which
means bringing in specific terminology and applying it correctly.

Context for this question includes audience, purpose and genre. Genre covers
affordances/constraints and genre conventions.

This question focuses on the attitudes towards Paris.




Paris anthology AQA advice

"In this part of the subject content, students explore speech and other genres. They study a wide
range of linguistic and generic features, as well as related issues around questions of representation
and viewpoint in texts taken from a range of time periods. The anthology offers opportunities for
detailed exploration of the ubiquitous nature of narrative and systematic study of the representation of
place. In studying, thinking, and writing about the anthology, students consider:

-The ways in which writers and speakers present places, societies, people and events.

-The metaphorical nature of representation: the ways that narrative itself can sometimes be seen as a
personal journey for writers and speakers.

,Louisa Withers


-The influence of contextual factors such as time period, race, social class and gender on the content
and focus of narratives.

-The affordances and limitations of different media.

-Different generic conventions and different purposes for communicating ideas and viewpoints about
travel, people and places.

-How people and their relationships are realised through point of view, attitude, specific registers,
physical descriptions, speech and thought."

SUMMARY

-How places, societies, people and events are presented

-Metaphorical nature of representation and the ways that narrative itself can be seen as a personal
journey

-Context such as TIME PERIOD, GENDER, race and social class

-Affordances and constraints (context)

-Different genre conventions and purposes (context)

-How people and their relationships are realised




Introduction checklist

-Indicate the main topics you will later write about (mention terminology and theories that can be
applied to both texts and thus will later be talked about)

-STATE THE GENRES OF BOTH TEXTS and explain whether the content/style is typical or atypical

-Mention PURPOSE and AUDIENCE (link polysyllabic lexis with audience/genre).



Why the introduction is important

-It's the first thing the examiner see's and judges you on

-You can outline what you are going to write about so it can act as a plan

-You can pin down important points about the texts that you can refer back to later on



Things to refer to in exam

-Tense (first person, second person, third person) and the pronouns used to signify this

-Simple and minor sentences

-Attitude towards Parisians

, Louisa Withers


-Discourse structure / conventions and links with these things in the two texts

-Similarities and differences in PURPOSE, AUDIENCE and GENRE of texts

-Distinction between own culture/society and French people

-The representation of place




Telling stories

"Telling," refers to how stories are told and why stories are "telling," or are valuable within society.
Students learn HOW and WHY stories of different kinds are told.




How the texts can be categorised

-Purpose and audience

-Genre

-Outlook - positive/negative

-The register (formal or informal)

-Gender of author

-Time period (link with word Zeitgeist)

-Permanence - ephemeral / permanent

Definitely look at purpose/audience, genre, outlook and register in the exam. Even though the other 3
are not as important, still try and focus on them if possible.




Remembered Places: Theories to apply

CARL THOMPSON DISCOURSES OF TRAVEL:

Literary critic Carl Thompson suggests that all travel narratives have these defining features:

-A focus on either a COMPLEX OR A SIMPLE JOURNEY. There is always a sense of moving INTO
OR OUT A PHYSICAL SPACE that is at the heart of the narrative

-An account of meeting and interacting with people, places and cultures that are unknown

- A literal account of the journey or some kind of learning experience/ revelation that has taken place
from that journey

-An additional insight into the ATTITUDES AND BELIEF SYSTEMS OF THE WRITER/SPEAKERS
THEMSELVES as well as their background and culture
