Exploring exemplars: analysing connections and possibilities for our own texts

Today we are looking at the exemplars for 91104 Analyse significant connections across texts, supported by evidence.

Very usefully, in this set of exemplars, the markers have identified the key connection for each exemplar:

1. How manifestations and interpretations of evil reflect the values and norms of society
2. Alienation and its consequences
3. Alienation through stereotyping and racism
4. Racism, revenge and attitudes to racism
5. Discrimination and difference
6. Some connections about people's disconnection from society

As you read through the exemplars and the annotation, think about the themes you see emerging, the language techniques being discussed, the ideas, what is interesting or perceptive, what words are new to you and what new ideas you have from reading the exemplars to help you dig into your own texts and select some more.  

We will do an activity exploring the possibilities of linking in A Modest Proposal to a connections report where we want to show a perceptive understanding of the connections across texts, and of each text.
