What is working open book?Show answer
Sections A and B are open book with clean, unannotated copies of the two complete set texts. The open book is for reference and accuracy, not for reading on the day; the marks are in your choices, so you must know the text well enough to navigate quickly to the strongest moments.
What is realising the moment?Show answer
A strong answer turns the moment into concrete choices: vocal, physical, spatial and design, each grounded in the text and tied to the meaning and the audience effect. This is what demonstrates AO3 (knowledge of how the text works in performance) and AO4 (evaluating the effect).
