Say for example we wrote a creative on Discovery, would we say (in our creative), I discovered...or in a belonging piece would we say "he bonged" or "I finally felt like I belonged" or in a journey piece would we say "I am going on a journey"?

Why?

Thanks :)

In an essay, always mention the AOS by name - the whole essay is explicitly about the AOS, being implicit will just make it harder for the markers
In a creative, never mention the AOS by name - the whole creative is implicitly about the AOS, being explicit will make your creative a lot less sophisticated off the bat

you want the discover/journey/belonging to happen in the underlying fabric of the creative like it should be subtle
saying, "I finally felt like I belonged" is not very subtle at all lol

(although I said never, I've seen creatives where people used the word discovery in like a really unique or skillful way but yeah only do this if you are an english god. your examples are not english god worthy btw ahaha)

Half true.

In paper 1 section 1, always mention discovery without slightest of hesitation.

In the essay, please use it especially when referring to the rubric, but do not over use it. Examiners don't want to see the same word appearing over and over again in a piece of writing.
___________________________________

On main note, yes in the creative NEVER mention discovery.
