English A exam practice: Revise descriptive Individual Oral analysis into explanation

An Individual Oral response describes evidence but does not explain it. Choose the focus that turns description into analysis. Use the visual organiser to keep the claim, proof, method, and effect connected. 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.
