ELLA 1 INTEGRATED ANALYSIS AND TEXT PRODUCTION
ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORKS
Here are the two main analytical frameworks I discussed with you this afternoon. To write a good essay style answer in the exam you will need to be able to identify and use a selection of these frameworks.
In the production style answer you will need to demonstrate that you can use different frameworks for different characters.
There is a detailed glossary of terms you can use in the General Pages of this blog under the heading Key Words and Phrases
