Read as many non-fiction pieces of writing as you can between now and the exam. These should take the following forms:
1. Articles on news websites, particularly the BBC.
2. Persuasive texts such as charity websites or holiday companies.
3. Biographies and autobiographies. These might be easier to find in the library in book form.
Keep a record of your reading using the following headings:
- The purpose of the writing
- Four things you learn from reading the text
- At least two examples of the style of writing e.g. factual, emotive, persuasive, advice, opinions etc
- What presentational devices are used and how they are effective e.g. pictures and headings etc
Marks will be awarded in the exam for how effectively you respond to questions based on the headings above.
