What’s so hard about it?

- Remembering enough quotes
- Accurately interpreting the prompt
What can we do to help our teens?
- Equip them so they have a good range of quotes to use for every theme and topic
- Practise interpreting prompts with them so that they are accurately decoding the question they need to answer
- Talk with them about the similarities and differences in themes and characters across the two texts: the more they can talk about it, the easier it is to write about it!
