Paper 2, Section B of the AQA A-Level English Literature exam presents you with an unseen prose extract related to the shared context you have studied — in this case, WW1 and Its Aftermath. You are required to analyse the extract in terms of both its literary qualities and its contextual significance. This lesson prepares you for that task, combining the contextual knowledge developed across this course with the close-reading skills essential for the unseen element.
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| The extract | A passage of prose (typically 500–800 words) from a WW1-related text you may or may not have read before |
| The question | You will be asked to analyse the extract, considering its literary methods and its contextual significance |
| Assessment Objectives | AO1 (informed response, coherent argument), AO2 (analysis of how meanings are shaped), AO3 (contextual significance) — with AO3 being particularly prominent in this section |
| Time | Approximately 45 minutes — including reading, planning, and writing |
