 Let's discuss the PIS and IGCC Englishes to paper one exam now in this video I'll give you basically a walkthrough of what you should anticipate for this paper now as you can see behind me essentially I've created a brief summary of what you should anticipate in terms of how the paper is laid out in terms of the three separate sections What you should also anticipate in terms of timing yourself for these different sections and also Key wording and the things that you should focus in your answer now for the literature paper one exam This is the poetry in the modern prose exam You have a total of two hours for this entire paper now two hours sounds like it's a really long time But it really isn't and especially considering that you are answering three separate question from section a section b and section c It's really easy to squander this time So you need to really have a tight idea and a tight rain on this time and also be really really strict with yourself When working through this paper now, let's begin with section a for this paper now section a you tend to get an Unseen piece of poetry. So this is the unseen poetry section and this section. So this is question number one It's worth 20 marks of the three question. It's worth the least amount of marks Okay. Now for this question, I would suggest spending 30 minutes in total for this part of the paper Now how to allocate this is spend 10 minutes planning your question This is important. These 10 minutes are sacred and then after you spend 10 minutes kind of reading through the poem Gathering your thoughts then interpreting what you think this poem can be about Then you spend the remainder 20 minutes actually writing out your response now Here usually for this question, the wording tends to be something along the lines of Explore how the writer presents Keyword, okay now because this is in this can be any poem, right? This is out of an infinite number of poems that have been written throughout the years Literally, it's impossible to Anticipate what poem can come up your job particularly in preparation for this exam Your job is to make sure you practice different styles of poems Writing different types of responses and interpreting a wide range of poems, okay? Now usually for this paper you tend to especially this question You tend to be asked to focus on language form and structure What I would suggest is write an introduction then write three maximum four points So for instance, if you're given a non-scene poem relating to let's say for the sake of argument The poem is about education and the keyword is education You write your introduction in terms of how the writer effectively presents the theme of education in this on-scene poem Then your first paragraph after your introduction should be a language paragraph, okay? So you've selected a piece of evidence you talk about language. Is it alliteration metaphor similarly? Whatever Your second paragraph after introduction So you've got your introduction then your first paragraph focusing on language your second paragraph should be something Structure-related is it for example, you know, they use quatern so this is for line stanzas Is it for example, you know, it shifts from quatern to cest head which is six line stanzas What is interesting in terms of structure? Your third point can be related to form So for example, is it written in a sonnet form? Is it written as a traditional ballad or actually if it doesn't adopt any form does it adopt in a regular rhyme scheme? that's also interesting and important if you do have time I would suggest if you're you know It takes you a while to get started three points with an introduction and conclusion is sufficient you move on However, of course if you have an extra a bit of time and you're kind of working through this question really quickly And you're keeping within this 30 minute window your fourth point can maybe be an additional paragraph relating to either a language Or a structure point, okay? Now that's really it for section a the on-scene poetry question one then you move on to Section B now section B for this paper is the anthology poetry question now if you remember from the eddick cell anthology Okay, and I have lots of lessons on that talking about explaining all the different poems The question for this section for section B is taken from part three of the anthology So this question focuses on part three, which is exclusively poems from this anthology So of course you're gonna have seen this poem before okay So unlike question a section a which is an unseen poem. This is a scene poem. In fact, you've studied it You've practiced it. Okay now for this question and for this section you have a choice of two questions question two or question three They are worth 30 marks. Okay, so now the marks are going up by 10 now for this question I would suggest spending 40 minutes in terms of timing allocate 10 of these minutes in Planning and then the remaining 30 minutes writing I would suggest very very strongly suggest you write an introduction Make four points minimum. So for example a language point as your first point Structure point as your second form point as your third and then maybe a language or a structure point as your fourth minimum four points As I mentioned for section a you can make introduction three points and conclusion But I would suggest for this one as a minimum try and make four points Or if you make really really three detailed points that can also suffice Okay, and of course given that this is a poetry question You're asked to look at language form and structure and in terms of what wording you tend to be asked compare how writers present Key words, okay, and of course for this question You are asked to look at an extract you've given the extract then of course you have to remember another poem to compare it to now Then we move on to section C which is a modern prose and a modern text now for this section It basically there's lots of questions that follow. Okay questions five to thirteen That's because depending on the text that you have chosen and that your teacher has chosen Of course, you just go to the relevant section. Okay now when you go to the relevant section in this section You then have a choice of two questions You either have a character or a theme question relating to your studied text, okay? Now for this question I would suggest because it's worth 40 marks So as you can see here, hopefully you've noticed the trend you start off with section a which is worth 20 marks Section b which is worth 30 marks and then now this is the largest question So this is worth 40 marks in total. I would suggest spending 50 minutes in total So 10 minutes planning then 40 minutes writing you get a character or theme question for the chosen Modern text that you have studied now one thing that is highlighted in the question is Always remember context. This is really really important So not only does it put a lot of pressure on your memory in terms of remembering quotations for the text and writing about these quotations And for this paper, I would suggest introduction Four points and in each point you're thinking about maybe an interesting and relevant context point of course quotations And this is irrespective of any of the sections you need to obviously add your quotations But then for this section, so this is section C You have to remember to talk about context as well. What contextual factors are being reflected? Okay, so either for the character question or for the theme question Of course, there's a lot of pressure on your memory for this section. Okay, so that's really it when it comes to The three sections within the English literature paper one exam Okay, so just bear in mind that it's worth So it's two hours and the marks change on from section a to section b and to section C Okay So hopefully that really helps in terms of knowing what to anticipate for this part of your exams
