As you can see, the mark scheme requires you to provide "a convincing response, supported by perceptive textual reference" if you want to achieve a band 5. This means you must ALWAYS support what you have put with evidence from the text. As we have discussed before, you will show yourself to be PERCEPTIVE by:
*Making points that the majority of people won't see.
*Backing up your points with MULTIPLE pieces of evidence, or by FORMING AN ARGUMENT showing how a character, theme etc has changed over time.
*Making assumptions and hypothesising over what the purpose to of the playwright is/was when the play was written - ie, WHAT IS HE TRYING TO GET THE AUDIENCE TO THINK?
You must also show PERCEPTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE THEME/IDEAS.
So, you must show that you totally understand the following things:
*How is the theme of responsibility SHOWN
*Why is it presented as being such a big deal in the play?
*What was going on in the world at the time that made this such a big, important deal??
Make sure you keep this in mind as you are working folks!
