Texts that stand out, whatever the form, mode and medium, have a distinctive voice that creates an effect on the responder.
Respond to this statement referring to your prescribed text (Emma - Jane Austen)
I'm really unsure as to how I group content and structure my paragraphs. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey!!
I haven't studied your text so I can't give specific examples but if I were to receive this for my prescribed text, I would start by creating a thesis that loops in the main idea you want to address.
Eg. Austen has successfully demonstrated her perspective through her use of ____ (what type of form) form, mode and medium, that texts which have a distinctive voice can have a timeless ______ (what sort of effect) effect on responders.
From here, I would find examples in the text that support my thesis. These would be examples of form, mode and medium and voice.
I would then write a paragraph about each of these examples, continually linking back to the thesis, context, voice and the effect on the responder.
If you only have one text, group each of paragraph around one type of example - eg. all examples about form and its impact / how it creates voice in the first paragraph, mode and medium in the second, etc.
If you have multiple texts that you need to compare, focus on grouping by themes, then style (eg. form / mode / medium). Keep the examples similar if you are arguing resonance, or slightly different if you are arguing dissonance. (This is more for Module A - I'm not sure what module your text is from)
As for paragraph structure, I like to start by using the SCTEEL structure, and then once editing, I move things around the make it flow better, and to add more context and effect/analysis (those are normally the two most important things markers are looking for)
S - Statement and/or thesis
C - Context
T - Technique
E - Example
E - Effect
(keep repeating the CTEE as many times are you think necessary in each paragraph - usually 2/3)
L - Link
Hope this can help get you started!!
