Half the Marks Are for This
Writing is 50% of the GCSE and accuracy alone is 20%. So what actually changes a paragraph? Describing by refusing things; narrating one moment rather than a plot; arguing against yourself first; the same beach written twice, inventory against selection; one sentence improved in three moves; where the fifth of the marks for accuracy actually goes. Six terms to define, a model analytical sentence, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
