YOUR ACTION ADVENTURE EXAM PREP

This afternoon we go over what went right and wrong! To get the top mark:

• stick to the question and be precise in how you express yourself
• start by defining the genre of the extract
• decide your topic sentence before you write the point
• if the focus is character and events, stick to that, as sound and editing questions follow later

Use the 3 point plan: 

1. Identify the right terminology ('Jack Sparrow could be defined as an anti-hero'...)
2. Then give detailed examples from the extract to support your point ('because in the extract he looks dishevelled even slightly feminized with his eye make-up and personal adornments. He is a figure of fun not a traditional hero when his vessel sinks before our eyes under the waves. He is also clearly being motivated by self-interest rather than honour when when he explains his motives.')
3. Finally,  explain / analyse / argue your point ('Jack Sparrow is not a conventional hero as he is often comic, a rule-breaker and always self-interested; he is not interested in upholding justice but only on pursuing his own ends. However, he can be relied on to win over the viewer because he is charming, decent, entertaining and good looking.')

SIMPLES!
