So, how to plan?

You are instructed to write about 1000 words, and you have 2 hours left to do it.

You should make around 1-2 sides of notes on A4 paper to take into the assessment with you. These should not contain CONTINUOUS PROSE.

As for what goes into the assessment, obviously that has to be up to you, and you should dedicate time preparing what you are going to write so that you are ready to begin the assessment when we get back next week.

There are many ways you could plan this.

To begin with, you really must write an introduction which explores the background to the play, talking about why the theme of responsibility is so important, why the years of writing/setting are so important etc.

Once you have done this, you need to work your way through important parts of the play, focusing closely on the text.

In note form, I am going to provide you with some ideas. It is up to you to read what I have put and decide which things you will focus on in your assessment, adding and expanding your own ideas along the way.

Ideas in next post!
