THOMAS HARDY’S NARRATIVE POETRY REVISION GUIDE THOMAS HARDY’S NARRATIVE POETRY REVISION GUIDE Introduction: Remember that you are only planning to write on Thomas Hardy’s narrative poetry in Section B of the Aspects of Narrative exam. In this section of the exam you must write about three different authors, which means you will only have about 20 minutes to spend writing about each one. You need to be realistic about what aspects of Hardy’s poetry the examiners are likely to invite you to write about and which assessment objectives you need to make sure you have covered. In the Aspects of Narrative exam in Section B you are being tested on all four of the assessment objectives. When you are revising you need to keep these firmly in mind so that you make sure the ways in which you are planning to write about Hardy’s poetry will engage with all the assessment objectives. The four assessment objectives are listed below: AO1 Articulate creative, informed and relevant responses to literary texts using appropriate terminology and concepts, and coherent written expression AO2 Demonstrate detailed critical understanding in analysing the ways in which structure, form and language shape meanings in literary texts AO3 Explore connections and comparisons between different literary texts, informed by interpretations of other readers AO4 Demonstrate understanding of the significance and influence of the contexts in which literary texts are read and understood. Understanding the Assessment Objectives Remember that while you are being assessed in Section B of the Aspects of Narrative exam on all four assessment objectives, they are not equally weighted. The two most heavily weighted assessment objectives in Section B are AO1 and AO3. When planning your responses to questions and your revision of the poems, you must keep this in mind.
