Question
Plan one focused paragraph for this AQA English Language objective: Use imagery and figurative language where it strengthens the intended effect.
Answer
Use imagery and figurative language response: The paragraph should make one point, use concise evidence or a precise example, explain the effect, and finish by returning to the question wording. For Descriptive writing, keep one clear focus, select brief evidence or a planned example, explain the method or writing choice, and link the point to effect, audience, purpose, form or tone where relevant.
Explanation
This is effective because it makes the paragraph planning, evidence, explanation and assessment objective visible. Keep one point per paragraph, support it with concise evidence or an example, then link the explanation back to the task. Descriptive writing needs a language method, such as word choice or imagery, linked to reader effect. Descriptive writing should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.
Common mistake
imagery: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Descriptive writing instead of explaining how the objective works in the answer.
Correct this by selecting a brief detail, explaining its effect, and linking the point back to "Use imagery and figurative language where it strengthens the intended effect."
