👋🏽 Hi, I’m Kerry. I teach CSEC English B at Arc School: live classes each week, lesson resources, exam practice and personalised coaching for your final exams. In this lesson, pay attention to how each discuss paragraph is built and the job each of its three parts does. Then write your own essay in your own words. Just don’t copy my sentences into your exam answer. Your answer has to show what you think.
After you describe your incidents, the question asks you to discuss ONE of them. In this lesson, that means how a character is affected by it, or how they respond to it. It’s easy to tell the incident again in new words. It’s just as easy to say how the character feels, “shocked” or “angry”, and stop there.
Where you struggle is proving the response and saying what it means. So that’s what we’ll work on today, with Twelfth Night.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
keep the whole paragraph on one character’s response
make a clear claim about how that character is affected or reacts
prove it with what the character says and does
say what the response shows about the question
In the full lesson, you’ll see a paragraph that retells a moment beside one that discusses it, on Viola and the ring. Then we’ll discuss three more characters, and you’ll write a discuss paragraph yourself.
