Many of the creative writing and descriptive writing questions in exams require you to focus on an object, person, place or thing. In this mini-lesson, I’ll go through the basics of how to describe a place in detail – and not just in a boring way!
Lots of my students get stuck on descriptions; they tell me that they can’t think of anything to write. Or they feel like they can only just list details or features of the object without being ‘creative’. So, if this is relatable for you then keep reading as we’ll be breaking down how to go beyond basic descriptions and transform them into something personal, powerful and meaningful.

This is an essay on Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’ that attained 12/25 (a C grade / L5) on the CIE IGCSE exam board. It is based on a real past paper question, and marked using the CIE mark scheme. It was unfinished in timed conditions, if finished it would have likely achieved a few marks higher - around 14/25. In this document, you’ll find a template for recommended middle paragraph essay structuring, the essay plan, the essay itself and detailed feedback.
This resource is useful for any students studying Miller, aged 13 and above.

Here is a detailed look at some of the most important quotations in Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’. You’ll find any form, structure or language terms put in bold so that they’re easy to pick out. Later on there is a more in-depth breakdown of the way the analysis works, including how to weave in context points and alternative or critical interpretations to make the ideas stronger. Practising this type of analysis is the best way to get good at writing essay paragraphs, so be sure to try writing some pieces of analysis yourselves with a few different quotations in order to improve your essay technique (I’d recommend choosing 5-10 quotations and seeing how much you can write on each one).
