<p>Structuring an essay is a difficult endeavour for both film and literature because:</p> <p>• Students do not know why they are writing essays for an A Level MFL course.<br /> • Students tend to conflate points with evidence (in the PEE structure).<br /> • Students are not confident when trying to identify a “golden thread” for their essay. A “golden thread” is the concept or idea that links the points and creates the “argument” for their essays.</p> <p>This presentation gives a very comprehensive explanation on how to find your three points and your “golden thread” for your A Level French film or literature essay.</p> <p>This presentation uses the film La Haine as an example, but the key concepts in the presentation can be used for any film or book.</p>
