For some students, writing a five-paragraph essay is an organising structure that helps them to plan and write, and it can be a useful strategy for some students. However, it is unlikely, in most circumstances, that a five-paragraph essay will receive very high marks. Experience shows that such essays typically lack the level of detailed sophistication that (often) longer, more organically developed essays tend to have. We are not, then, suggesting that you cannot or must not write a five-paragraph essay, but we do not recommend such an approach if you are aiming for higher marks (that are likely to constitute a grade of 6 or 7).</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong>How many words and/or pages should I write?</strong></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>An excellent question, but one that is difficult to answer. We can, however, say something rather than nothing. Hundreds of words of random rubbish are exactly that: random rubbish. Thus, whatever you write, must simultaneously address the question you have selected, and show understanding of both works you are writing about, in more or less equal measure, and with appropriate comparison and contrast. To do this well will require anywhere between 800-1800 words. Most very good or excellent essays will exceed 800 words – 1000-1300 words is a rough estimate – and exceeding 1600 words is difficult for most students while continuing to write well.</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong> Does my essay need to include quotations?</strong></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>No. In addition, poorly chosen quotations do not add value to an essay. Nevertheless, pithy, well-chosen quotations can be value-adding, and there is a sense in which responses that are illustrated with a range of appropriate quotations can enhance a student’s work, showing an awareness of the question and the literary works. While we recommend that you aim to include quotations, they are not explicitly mentioned in the marking criteria.</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong>How much time should I spend planning?

Often, students leave exams expressing anxiety that they left too little time for writing, having spent too much time planning. Don’t be one of those students. You must select a question (a process that begins in your five-minutes ‘reading time’). You must ‘unpack’ the question to ensure you really know what is being asked of you. You need to select two appropriate literary works to use in illustrating your response, and you need to find some significant points of comparison and contrast. In addition, you need to have a thesis – a position, or argument that your essay will develop. You can do all of this in about <strong>twenty minutes</strong>, give or take. We cannot be more exact, and there will be some variation between students. Nevertheless, this approach allows about seventy-five to eighty minutes to write your essay and a further ten minutes to check your response for any glaring errors. You can, of course, do things differently if you choose, but recognise that there are pros and cons in doing so. Listen to the advice of your teacher, but remember that she or he is not doing the exam.</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong>Does Paper 2 need an introduction, including a thesis statement?</strong></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>Yes, your essay must be focused and respond to the question you have selected. A thesis is a statement that establishes how you will respond to the question and what your main argument(s) will be. An essay without a thesis is rather like a rudderless boat.

This said, the word ‘conclusion’ suggests that you have the final word on something, and there is nothing more to say. This isn’t true, and it is a little arrogant to suggest otherwise. Also, many students finish their essays by pithily repeating what they have already said – both dull and unnecessary. For these reasons, we prefer the word ‘synthesis’ rather than ‘conclusion’. A synthesis, like a conclusion, involves bringing together the parts of a discussion. However, it is also evaluative, and it involves considering the wider implications of your argument. On out website, we show you how to write a winning synthesis.</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong>How important is knowing terminology to writing successful Paper 2 essays?</strong></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>This is a question that divides teachers. We take the view that knowing terminology is not an end in itself and it is not the same thing as understanding a literary work. That said, we do think that using terminology to show how literature works is essential, and without this ‘shorthand’ it is actually quite difficult to write about literature. In the same way that biologists convey ideas through mutually understood terms such as ‘cell’, it is much easier when writing about literature to call the ‘setting’ of a work exactly that. On our website, we help develop your repertoire of terminology and guide you in using it in meaningful ways for exam success.</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong>Is it better to write about novels or plays in a Paper 2 response?

Most students write about novels and/or plays. Fewer students write about short stories or poems. Students, often, struggle to write effectively about short stories and poems. In part, this is because they find it difficult to establish a sense of balance; that is, they do not know how many short stories or poems to write about, and their essays become ‘uneven’. However, some students do write very well about short stories and poems, and this makes it difficult to reach a firm conclusion on the issue. If you do write about short stories and/or poems, it is generally better to write about a number of short stories or poems rather than just one or two. Even, here, however, we need to qualify what we write. That is, if the short stories and poems are long, it is less necessary to write about several of them. When you write about a novel or play, you just don’t have to think about these things!</p> </section> </div> <div class="greyBg"> <p><img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/sl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="SL"> <img class="sibico" src="../../../img/sibico/hl-blue.svg" style="height:1.25em;width: auto;vertical-align:text-bottom" title="HL"> </p> <p><strong>In choosing my works, should I aim to mix literary genres and/or should I ensure I include literary works in translation?</strong></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>If you are asking this question at all, it probably indicates that you have a good sense of the task of writing a Paper 2 and at least a fair understanding of the marking criteria.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that you have to compare and contrast and that this is assessed in both criteria A and B.
