I’ve sorted out my AOs, now what do I do with them? (AQA)

Once you've got a few examples to analyse for each AO, you need to take these forward and structure an essay out of them. Essays that do well do not list a response to AO1, AO2, AO3 etc. An essay made up of blocks of analysis for each AO are not as effective at showing your confidence in writing as an essay that weaves together each AO. To demonstrate to your marker that you can write well, you need to approach your answer thematically. This means weaving your responses to each of the AOs throughout your paragraphs. In order to achieve this, in a tutorial we would work towards effectively picking out thematic similarities between your points and then move on to how we could organise your essay as a whole. In the end, we would end up with an essay that is clearly written, thematically organised and thoroughly analytical.
