Question
Correct a weak response to this AQA English Language objective: AO5: develop ideas with relevant explanation, examples and evidence.
Answer
: develop ideas with relevant response: A weak response usually summarises, guesses, or names a method without effect. Improve it by choosing evidence, explaining the effect, and linking the point to audience, purpose or writer purpose method. For Developing viewpoint and argument, 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 mistake correction, evidence, explanation and assessment objective visible. Replace summary with a precise point, brief evidence, method, effect and writer purpose so the correction is exam-ready. : develop ideas with relevant explanation, should use brief evidence and explain what that evidence implies, so the inference is not just explicit summary. Developing viewpoint and argument should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.
Common mistake
evidence: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Developing viewpoint and argument 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 "AO5: develop ideas with relevant explanation, examples and evidence."
