Description

The Mastering Section I: Texts and Human Experiences Student Book has been designed to help students develop the critical reading, thinking, and writing skills they need to successfully complete Section I of the Paper 1: Texts and Human Experiences English examination.

To achieve this, the student book is divided into 3 parts:

• Part One: Reading Using Textual Form – introduces students to a range of texts that represent the textual forms that are most commonly found in Section I of Paper 1: Texts and Human Experiences examination papers and provides a framework for reading these texts.

• Part Two: Deconstructing Short-Answer Questions – teaches students how to analyse different types of short-answer questions. They will also have opportunity to consider sample answers for each type of question, helping them to improve the mechanics of their writing.

• Part Three Practice Examination Papers – a sample Standard and Advanced Paper 1, including common questions and marking criteria for each paper.
