Remind yourself of the structure of each question. Pretty much the same skills as paper 1, except QUESTION 5 is now a persuasivewriting rather than descriptive.

Remember to prepare and plan by reading both texts fully. Highlight the key points as you read, then summarise in a phrase ( in the margin of each paragraph) what that paragraph is about. This ensures you FULLY UNDERSTAND the story being told in each: who, what, where, when, why – descriptions of events, characters, setting etc. Only then can you effectively respond to questions 2,3 and 4.
