Practice Essay Questions for Belonging (1 Viewer)

[Artemis_ephesus]

I'm annoyed that there are no past exam questions I can look at!

From what I gather, the questions won't be as specific as the ones suggested here. They need to be very open to cater for different texts and standard/ESL people.

The only thing the BOS has released is one sample paper, and the question there for the essay is "To what extent have your perceptions of belonging been influenced by the texts you've studied? In your answer, refer to your prescribed text and two other texts of your choosing."

See, really broad.

Re: Area of Study practice essay questions

Belonging relies on both conformity and individuality. What is your view?

for this can we talk about one for each text...?
in my opinion simple gift is individuality
and my other texts are conformity

so can i just write about individuality for simple gift or do i have to imply both for each text...?

But i heard section III isn't totally in essay format, does anyone else have any questions dat aren't for essay format? And can u advise on how to start them or give examples, cause i can't write anything about belonging in any other un-essay format

You will be assessed on how well you:
- demonstrate understanding of the concept of belonging in the context of your study
- demonstrate skill in making informed language choices to shape and meaning
- demonstrate understanding of the forms, features and structures of texts

1) It is through not belonging, we realise that we belong. Evaluate the degree to which this statement is true.

2) To belong, we must sacrifice our own individuality. Evaluate this statement, using your available texts.

3) Belonging evolves or devolves with the passage of time. Use your texts to respond to this statement.

4) Belonging relies on connection to place and interaction. Use texts to respond.
