‘Bayonet Charge/Charge of The Light Brigade’ Comparison Essay B grade
Here’s an essay completed by one of my students taking the ‘AQA Power and Conflict’ poetry module. It was his first comparative essay and his first poetry essay, so he did amazingly well! However, there is also clear room for improvement - I would expect the same student to be on a minimum of an L7 / A Grade by the time he takes his exams. I have given detailed feedback underneath to help him improve, plus a breakdown of the mark scheme and grade boundaries to show how his essay would convert to a specific grade.
