English A exam practice: Evaluate conclusions in Paper 2 essays

A Paper 2 essay conclusion needs to strengthen the final judgement. Choose the focus that best evaluates the conclusion. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning, reader position, audience response, or comparison.

Worked practice: build the analysis

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