👋🏽 Hi, I'm Kerry. I teach CSEC English B at Arc School: live classes each week, lesson resources, exam practice and personalised coaching for the May–June 2027 exams. In this lesson, pay attention to how the essay is structured and the job each of the six paragraphs 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.
The hard part of an Animal Farm essay is keeping every paragraph on the question. A paragraph can start well and then slide into what happened next, until it's just the story again.
So in this lesson we'll take one complete essay apart, paragraph by paragraph, and look at the job each one does.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
turn each part of a question into a paragraph
choose incidents that fit the exact words of the question
keep every paragraph on the question, with only as much story as it needs
explain a disadvantage and a technique with evidence from the novel
outline and write a whole essay on a new question, then check it
The full lesson gives you the complete essay with notes on every paragraph. You'll see the same moment written as story and as an answer, and get the quotations worth learning. Then you'll write your own essay on a new question.
