Practice Paper 1 Introduction

       Text 1 is a newspaper article titled "Squatters Take On Developers" by Benjamin Shors, published on October 15, 2007.  This text type may be identified through the informative nature of the article. In contrast, Text 2 is an advertisement for a summer cruise published in 1922 for "The Great White Fleet". The persuasive techniques evident within this text are indicative of a typical advertisement. While both texts address the main theme of expansion, they have contrasting purposes and utilize stylistic and structural features in an opposing manner.

  1. You clearly identify both texts by stating their text type. Maybe next time give a brief overview of the two. Also, you did a good job at addressing your thesis statement and grounding in the foundation of what your analysis will look like. Good job b xo

  2. Your introduction establishes the two text types and you identify the common theme that is present in both texts. However you need to expand on your ' so what; statement a little bit more.

  3. This is a rather short but concise introduction. you have identified both text types but didn't set the context . you identified a common theme but for your thesis, you need to add detail to your thesis in relation to the texts as well as including the SO WHAT statement. also identify the elements.
