What are the objectives across the parts?Show answer
The NEA puts all five objectives in play, but distributed across the parts. The critical study loads AO1, AO2, AO3 and AO4: integrated analysis of how the text works, framed by context and informed by the wider genre reading (a comparison of sorts). The creative writing loads AO5 (the creative production of your own texts) and AO2 (the shaping of meaning), with the reflection demonstrating control of the choices. Reading what each part loads keeps the folder targeted.
What is a coherent folder plan?Show answer
"A Gothic genre study: a critical essay analysing how a Gothic novel builds dread through narration, setting and the uncanny, informed by wider Gothic reading; then a literary creative piece, a Gothic short story deploying those conventions, and a non-literary piece, a piece of atmospheric travel writing that borrows the Gothic's techniques, with a reflection explaining how the critical study shaped each choice."
