LANGUAGE – Model Essays on randomly picked extracts from TKAMB
June 11th, 2011
Extract and Model 1:
The Radley House Model Essay by Mrs Colabella
Extract and Model 2:
Extract and Model 3:
TKAMB Courtroom Extract Model Answer
Extract and Model 4:
Model 5:
Revise by using these model answers to help you practise writing your own language analysis.
Try:
- Reading through and highlighting each time a language technique is mentioned explicitly
- highlight point/ evidence/ explanation and notice the ratio
- highlight how many points are actually made
- from all of this write a list of ingredients for the perfect language analysis
- To improve your vocabulary for analysis, hightlight how many different words are used for ‘this shows’
- create a table of ‘things I understand’ ‘words/phrases I want to steal’ ‘things I need to revise more’
Then, flick to a random page from TKAMB and analyse how the language is used to present a character/ theme/ event.
