English Advanced Module B practice prompts

Original Module B prompts for close study, textual integrity and personal response.

Module B focus

Module B rewards deep knowledge of one text and a defensible judgement about how meaning is shaped. Avoid prewritten paragraphs that ignore the question.

Prompt 1

To what extent does your prescribed text achieve textual integrity through the interaction of form, language and ideas?

Prompt 2

How has your personal response to the text been shaped by the composer’s distinctive choices?

Prompt 3

Evaluate the significance of one recurring motif or structural feature in your prescribed text.

Planning method

Write a thesis that includes judgement, text value and method. Then choose evidence that proves the thesis rather than evidence you merely remember.
