A grade 9 response to the AQA May 2017 power and conflict question in which Bayonet Charge was the named poem. This response was completed in 45 minutes so replicates the amount of writing expected within the time frame of the examination. In other grade 9 power and conflict responses on Tes I wrote comparative-style paragraphs. For this essay I used a different method. In the first half of the essay I focused solely on the named poem Bayonet Charge and then referred back to Bayonet Charge in the second half of the response when analysing Remains. Both methods are effective.
