Key steps (method)

• End each paragraph with a 1-sentence link back to the exact wording of the question.
• Use variety:
  • This reinforces the idea that…
  • Therefore, Shakespeare/Priestley suggests…
  • This supports the view that…
• Link to your thesis/judgement (not just the paragraph point).

Common mistakes

• Forgetting to link back at all (paragraphs feel disconnected).
• Copying the question word-for-word every time.
• Linking back vaguely (“This shows the theme”).
