English A exam practice: Develop Individual Oral introduction and thesis

An Individual Oral needs an opening thesis that narrows a broad global issue. Choose the line of inquiry that would guide the oral. 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.
