Text connections
Analyse significant connections across texts, supported by evidence
Study with Coach
Save your actual school result to count your credits.
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.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Choose or be given at least four texts — these can be written, visual, or spoken (e.g. a novel, a film, a poem, and a speech). At least one text must be one you selected yourself.
- ·Find significant connections across all four texts — for example, a shared theme like power or identity, similar language techniques, or the same structural approach.
- ·Write a formal piece (usually an essay) that analyses those connections in depth, explaining why they matter and what they reveal.
- ·Support every point you make with specific, relevant evidence quoted or described from the actual texts.
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.
