Over the next two lesson we will be completing a practice essay to help prepare you for Test Block next week.
The question is as follows:
To what extent does Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice explore the idea that individuals are the victims of society’s expectations? Support
your answer by specific reference to the novel.
As you prepare your answer remember the following things:
1. Plan your thesis statement and topic sentences before you begin to write
2. Make sure that your thesis statement directly answers the question
3. Make sure your topic sentences link back to your thesis statement
4. Support your answers with clear, relevant evidence that is referenced
5. Synthesise your evidence
6. Write clear, concise sentences
7. Make sure you have a clear conclusion that wraps up your argument and avoids bringing in new information
8. Take the time to proof read and edit
Some things to avoid:
1. No first person
2. Don't rely on simply retelling the story
