FOUR KEY WORDS FOR
QUESTION 4!
QUESTION 4
 
Question 4 is a comparison question. Question 4 is about what the writer is
thinking, feeling, imagining and experiencing.
 
It is not just a comparison of anything – 
it is a comparison of the perspectives
of the two writers. In your answer, you must discuss the 
methods the writers
choose
 to show their thoughts, feelings, imaginings and experiences in each
text.
 
You are looking for 3 things:
What does the writer think/feel/imagine/experience/believe?
What methods do they use?
What is their tone?
QUESTION 4 CRUNCHED
 
Question 4 is a comparison question. Question 4 is about what the writer is
thinking, feeling, imagining and experiencing.
 
It is not just a comparison of anything – 
it is a comparison of the perspectives
of the two writers. In your answer, you must discuss the 
methods the writers
choose
 
to show their thoughts, feelings, imaginings and experiences in each
text.
 
You are looking for 3 things:
What does the writer think/feel/imagine/experience/believe?
What methods do they use?
What is their tone?
IDENTIFY THE PERSPECTIVE
 
What is the writer 
thinking
? What is the writer 
feeling
? What is the writer 
imagining
? What
is the writer 
experiencing
? Make notes around the tweets in your books.
EXPLAIN THE PERSPECTIVE
 
Now consider how you know the writer’s perspective. 
What
 have they said? 
Why
 have they
said it? 
How
 have they said it? Make notes around the tweets in your books.
Negative/critical/cynical/pessimistic
Repetition of ‘unsuitable’ suggests she is an
inappropriate choice and almost sounds like an
outfit choice rather than a fiancee! List of reasons
adds emphasis to argument. Makes opinion sound
like fact.
Positive/congratulatory
Positive adjectives such as ‘wonderful’ and ‘beautiful’
sound sincere and warm.
Capitalisation of BIG adds emphasis to the well-
wishes.
We teach the importance of attitude
tracking when reading text... just one
word in the margin per paragraph to
summarise writer’s attitude. Makes
making comparisons a bit easier!
TEACHERS ON TWITTER: IDEAS AND STRATEGIES
 
 
Important to remember Q4 is an
amalgamation of requirements of
q1, 2 & 3.
 
Plan for this question by tracking in the margin
of each source what the mood or opinion of the
writer is. Concentrate on +/-
 
Annotate what evidence in the extract shows
the writer's opinion. Additionally, concentrate
on the language devices used in source
 
Good English Language revision
today with students really starting
to understand the ‘flow’ of the
reading paper; a cracking question
4 response really depends on a
thorough job being done on 2 and 3
with a clear annotation trail to spot
trends and link ideas.
 
What is the writer 
thinking
? What is the writer 
feeling
? What is the writer
imagining
? What is the writer 
experiencing
?
YOUR TASK: READ THE SOURCES
 
Your tasks:
 
Read Source A and B. In the margin, next to each
paragraph, summarise the writers’ attitudes in just
ONE word to help you track their perspective.
 
Next highlight one or two quotations maximum that
have helped you to make this decision.
 
Like the tweets, quickly make annotations about the
methods the writer uses to present their
perspective.
METHODS – NOT JUST LANGUAGE DEVICES!
 
Q4: Compare how the two writers convey their attitudes
to air pollution.
        In your answer you should:
compare their attitudes
compare the methods they use to convey their
attitudes.
support your ideas with quotations from both texts.
YOUR TASK: ANSWER THE QUESTION
 
I DO
 
If you can ask ‘why/how?’ to anything written,
the answer is not yet ‘perceptive’.
 
Both writers…
The two texts convey different attitudes…
 
In Source A, the writer
feels/thinks/imagines/experiences/believes
… whereas in Source B, the writer…
 
This is particularly evident when they
discuss…, stating ‘…’
 
The use of … here… is particularly effective…
 
Perhaps the writer wants to convey a sense
of… showing the reader that…
 
Watch as I model on the board
what an answer should look like
as well as the approach you
should take with this question.

Swap answers with a partner. Read their work and write down
‘What?’ ‘How?’ ‘Why?’ where appropriate.
 
Once you have finished, swap back. Answer any of the questions
your partner has posed in a different colour pen.
