Short answers tips (1 Viewer)

Hey guys what would be the best way to approach the short answers ?, like how would you answer a 2,3,4 and 5 marker question ?

For e.g: Idea, Quote, Effect im very bad at this LOL

Argument, quote, technique, analysis. Repeat depending on how many marks it is. 2 marker, try to put 2, 5 marker, aim for 3/4, even 5 if you want.

Most of the lower mark questions (2,3) simply ask you how text A shows technique/idea B. All you really need to do is identify a relevant quote/technique and explain how it shows the idea and answers the question. These are fairly straightforward and you really should be nailing them every single time.

For higher ones, such as the final 5 marker, you are usually asked to discuss more than one text and in this case, you structure your answer as sort of a mini essay, where you have a short intro and obviously then you discuss each text and then synthesise how they both are linked and answer the question.
