- ·Identify and explain the main ideas presented in the text
- ·Comment on how the text is organised and structured (introduction, paragraphing, conclusion, ordering of ideas)
- ·Use specific examples from the text to back up your analysis
You identify what some language features mean and explain the main ideas in the text with some supporting examples.
