Paper 1 contains two previously unseen literary passages and students are instructed to write a separate guided analysis of each of these passages.Â
The passages for analysis may be either a complete piece of writing or an extract from a longer piece.
One guiding question will be provided for each passage on a central technical or formal element that may provide an interesting point of entry into the text. Although it is not compulsory to answer this question, students should be aware that it is expected that the analysis will be focused on a particular aspect of the text.
