Diagnostic Misconceptions - P1 Q5 2
English Language: AQA GCSE, topic 4.1.10

If you choose to write a story for Question 5, you might be tempted to try to write the whole story. I mean, you want to finish it, right? What would Goldilocks be without the bears coming along? Nobody just wants to hear about her breakfast. BUT in Question 5, you are just trying to show your examiner how well you can write and you really don’t have to write a whole story. You should have a start, a middle and an end to your piece of writing, but it can just be the beginning of a story. The top marks only write the start of the story and focus on creating descriptive and thoughtful writing.
