English Literature iGCSE

Orla is struggling a bit with her English Literature homeschooling assignments. Particularly with her last two on Shakespeare, scoring 59 and then believing she had figured out what she was doing wrong she then scored only 65. This is in contrast to the 80+ she is regularly scoring in her other subjects. Time for a deep-dive on the reasons...

It turns out that the tutor's comments were not that useful. Looking closely at the model answer was much more useful.The model answer is very brief putting the scene in context and focuses on the literary techniques used by Shakespeare. Orla's answer spends too long on context and is commenting mainly on what is happening and on plot points.
