How should I structure my paragraphs or intro?

An intro must answer the question instantly, considering how you interpret the question and how you will approach it. Briefly touch on your points, and mention the historical context that is relevant to the question.
You must plan each paragraph, a few words summarising each point. One paragraph should consist of a signpost sentence that explains what your point is, and a small explanation. You should aim for the rest of your paragraph to specifically support this point, referring back to it throughout. Then support your point with quotation, followed by language analysis of the that quotation, and explanation as to how this supports your point. Feel free to embed quotes to demonstrate your knowledge. You can then bring in how your point links to the contextual or historical background of the text. Then add some criticism, quoting specifically from a critic which aligns with your point. Finish the paragraph summarising what you have explained and how this links to the question.
