English A exam practice: Evaluate authorial choices across genre

A student compares a poem with a campaign text. Choose the authorial-choice focus that respects genre difference. Use the organiser to keep context, authorial choice, evidence, and implication connected. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning or audience effect.

Worked practice: build the analysis

Construct the analysis one move at a time, the way an examiner reads it: focus, evidence, technique, then effect.
