English A exam practice: Plan Paper 2 essays from command terms

A student is planning a Paper 2 essay and needs to use the command term properly. Choose the focus that best controls the plan. 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.
