Understanding
- I can explain the difference between an event that happens to a character and a change in that character. (Guide: “What does it mean for a character to change?”; Practice Question 1)
- I can explain why staying the same can be as meaningful as changing. (Guide: “What does it mean for a character to change?”; Practice Question 3)
- I can explain why minor characters often remain unchanged and what they do for the work. (Guide: Worked example 2; Practice Question 3)
- I can explain how a character’s change, or lack of it, affects the interpretation of the whole work. (Guide: Worked examples 1 and 2; Practice Question 6)
Skills
- I can find a baseline for a character using early evidence. (Guide: “A method”; Practice Question 4)
- I can identify the pressure that tests the baseline. (Guide: Worked example 1; Practice Question 4)
- I can compare a response with the baseline and say whether it is a change, a partial change or no change. (Guide: “A method”; Practice Question 2)
- I can quote accurately to show a before and an after. (Practice Questions 7 and 8)
Reasoning
- I can say what a change reveals about a character’s values. (Guide: Worked examples 1 and 2; Practice Question 5)
- I can explain how two characters’ changes work together to support an interpretation. (Guide: Worked example 1; Practice Question 6)
- I can compare a weak and a strong sentence about change and say why the strong one scores. (Guide: “Weak and strong versions side by side”)
- I can write a paragraph on change with a claim, evidence and commentary linked to the whole work. (Practice Questions 7 and 8)
