Using Pathetic Fallacy to Describe a Setting for Paper 1 Question 5
When approaching Paper 1 Question 5, I advise students to begin with an opening paragraph that uses pathetic fallacy to describe a setting.

They also consistently use ambitious tier 2 vocabulary and advanced punctuation to help show the sophistication required for the top band of the mark scheme.
After studying the 6 model paragraphs, students should then move on to create their own pathetic fallacy opening paragraphs.
