This is an essay on Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’ that attained 12/25 (a C grade / L5) on the CIE IGCSE exam board. It is based on a real past paper question, and marked using the CIE mark scheme. It was unfinished in timed conditions, if finished it would have likely achieved a few marks higher - around 14/25. In this document, you’ll find a template for recommended middle paragraph essay structuring, the essay plan, the essay itself and detailed feedback. This resource is useful for any students studying Miller, aged 13 and above.
