Structuring an essay is a difficult endeavour for both film and literature because:
• Students do not know why they are writing essays for an A Level MFL course.
• Students tend to conflate points with evidence (in the PEE structure).
• 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.
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.
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.
Why would I use this booklet?
In this booklet you will find support strategies for answering questions in each of the A Level French papers (3 in total). Having passion for, and having competency in, the French language is incredibly important, but it is also crucial that you use strategies to narrow down your thoughts and answer the questions.
Paper 1 (50%): Listening/Reading/Writing. 2hrs 30 mins.
This paper tests your comprehension of French language.
Paper 2 (20%): Film/Literature. 2 hrs.
This paper tests your interpretation and analysis of French (France) works.
Paper 3 (30%): Speaking. 16-18 mins. 5 mins prep. 5-6 mins stimulus card. 2 min introduction for the Individual Research Project presentation, and 9-10 mins of questions discussing it.
This paper tests your understanding of Francophone (French-speaking) culture.
The reality is, you cannot go into these exams just being “good at French”; you need to be a tactical individual ready to attack the tasks with strategies. An A*- B student is one who is able to understand that the French A Level is about strategic requirements as much as it is having proficiency in the language.
