Here are some points that you could possibly consider before writing your Area of Study response:
- Do you have a clear definition of the idea of your journey focus area (eg. imaginative)?
- Have you explained what type of journey has occured in your prescribed text (emotional/historical/societal)?
- Have you presented an example from your prescribed text using specific evidence from the text?
- Have you included at least one text from the Board of Studies stimulus book?
- Have you included additional material?
- Have you referred closely to these stimulus and personally selected texts? You need to describe how they reflect the notion of the journey.
- Have you dealt with how the journey is presented in terms of visual or written language used by the composer?
- Have you considered the point of view of the composer of the texts you have used?
- Have you considered how you, as the responder, may have experienced a similar journey in your world as a result of the engagement with these texts (more applicable to imaginative journeys and possibly even inner journeys)?
