Macbeth — AO1 (thesis + quotes)

AO1 — Response + references (what you say)

• Answer the question with a clear line of argument (thesis).
• Build 3–5 main points that stay focused on the question.
• Use short, embedded quotations (don’t drop huge chunks).
• If there’s an extract:
  • Extract: what’s happening + what it shows about the theme/character.
  • Elsewhere: link to 2–3 other moments across the play.

High-scoring AO1 looks like: a clear argument, a logical paragraph order, and quotes selected because they prove the point.
