Candidate 1

Moderator’s commentary

The candidate’s narrative approach in the Explorative Study means that very low marks are achieved

across all the assessment objectives. There is an attempt to capture the register in the Creative Critical

Response but, again, there is barely any interpretation of the text itself.

Candidate 2

Moderator’s commentary

This is perhaps an example of a candidate whose busy engagement with interpretations by other readers is often at the expense of his / her own argument. The result, at times, is a lack of a clear argument and a sense of the candidate’s own critical skills. There is nevertheless an excellent understanding of context and of others’ critical views.
