Love through the ages: creating your own questions

Below you will find instructions on how to use the accompanying resources to create your own exam practice questions. This example shows you how to use the Love through the ages: resource package to set questions for Paper 1, Section C, for the 'Love through the ages' component for AS and A-level English Literature A, for first teaching from September 2015.

Paper 1, Section C

If you have used the relevant question from the specimen assessment materials or want to set a question on a different text combination or a different aspect of Love through the ages, you can use these documents in the following way:

1. Look at how the relevant question from the specimen assessment materials is constructed:

Compare how the authors of two texts you have studied present barriers to love.

The question wording (Compare how the authors of two texts you have studied present..) can remain unchanged with the exception of the area to be explored (here 'barriers to love'). 

2. Read the examiner commentary to help you identify a different area of Love through the Ages to compare. Look for aspects of Love through the Ages which occur in both texts studied but don't forget that the absence of aspects in a text is equally valid for comparison; the list of aspects in the specification offer a good starting point.

This resource is part of the Love through the ages resource package.
