Analyse significant connections across texts, supported by evidence
In this internal assessment, you study at least four texts (which can be books, films, poems, speeches, images, or a mix) and write an essay or report that explores meaningful connections between them. The connections might be about similar themes or ideas, the way language is used, how the texts are structured, or who they were made for. You need to back up everything you say with specific evidence from the texts. Because it's internal, your teacher marks it during the year rather than in an exam.
You identify real connections across the texts and explain what they are, using evidence from the texts to back up your points. Your analysis makes sense and covers the basics.
Your analysis is reasoned and clear — you don't just describe the connections, you explain them in a logical, well-developed way that convincingly shows why the connections are important.
Your analysis goes deeper, offering original or insightful interpretations that go beyond the obvious. You reveal something genuinely interesting or unexpected about how the texts connect and what that means.
