Question
Plan one focused paragraph for this AQA English Language objective: Select relevant evidence from non-fiction and literary non-fiction texts.
Answer
Select relevant evidence from non-fiction 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 Understanding non-fiction sources, 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. Select relevant evidence from non-fiction and should use brief evidence and explain what that evidence implies, so the inference is not just explicit summary. Understanding non-fiction sources should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.
Common mistake
non-fiction: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Understanding non-fiction sources 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 "Select relevant evidence from non-fiction and literary non-fiction texts."
