Then see how you could get full marks yourself. If you are already getting grade 6 or more, discover why it is best to write about the play first, then about the extract.

When he said avoid suspicion. I think this is talking about how Shakespeare was suspected to be part of the gunpowder plot, and he wrote Macbeth to be placed on the kings good side and avoid suspicion surrounding him and the plot as he was friends with people involved at the time, he wrote the play to show he was devoted to the king

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Your school is trying to teach a method which will cover all bases - so it sounds logical. Because teachers usually don't sit the exams themselves, they don't road test this to see if it is actually successful - usually it ends up with having to write too much. The only way for you to find out is to write an essay using what you have learned, and see what grade you get, compared to the 'method'.

hi sir i have a question. in the essay sanjay said the nonchalant tone symbolises Macbeths 'human kindness'. could anyone please explain to me how a nonchalant tone could symbolise someone's kindness. reference 15:29

[@NihalKakde]

if they are described as nonchalant then they are seen to be calm in every situation which basically connotes to a kind person as you wont see them being influenced by their rage and would be acting wisely

Hi Mr Salles I thought its good when your ideas and points are unique from other students but it seems like if examiners arent familiar theyll give it a lower level. So shall we use ideas that are unfamiliar and sort of unique or not? Can you also do more videos on Animal Farm

if they are unknown explain them well

Hi Sir, I am in the 2020 GCSE year group and need at least a 7 to do Lit as an A-Level. In my first mock, I got a 5 but in the second I got a 7. Do you think it's worth me continuing to work with re-taking English Lit in the Autumn in mind? Ideally, I would love an 8 or 9, but I am just not at that standard yet. Thank you so much!

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

izzy 88 I think there is a good chance you will get a 7 this year, and I have not heard of schools and colleges asking for a grade 7. If this is the case, and you are motivated, do the exam. Your highest grade will count, and the skills you develop in revising will help you at A level.

In order to get an 8/9 do you need to hit Level 6 on all the AOs?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

No

[@elizabethlewis3549]

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish So if you hit Level 6 on just one of the AO's does that tip you into that level?

violence in Macbeth and something on Hyde.

I THINK it was Hyde as frightening outsider, or it was about mystery and tension.

hi sir im commenting this while watching the video. i've noticed that the person who has produced this piece uses high vocabulary and exquisite analysis something i cant do right now. is there something you recommend to improve my analytical skills and vocab?

I don’t think it makes much of a difference as long as you have a strong and convincing argument ‘fancy’ words aren’t that important
