I can sum it up very simply, as this is a very straightforward exam:
You write TWO short pieces of creative writing based loosely on a stimulus text, then you write a short commentary explaining your language choices in ONE of the texts.
Sounds very simple doesn't it?
Well it is. But I am still going to give you lots of information which will hopefully give you access to the high end of the mark scheme, because there are ways of doing this extremely well, and ways of doing it not so extremely well.
You will not be able to write much AT ALL - You are advised to write about 300 words each for the creative tasks, which means that your commentary certainly will not be much more than this (it should be easier and faster to write the commentary because you are not having to invent it as you go along).
I will discuss the stimulus and mark scheme on the following posts.
