Learning objectives

Structure the commentary around points of comparison — form, structure, register, lexis, syntax and address to the audience — rather than describing one text and then the other

Quote from both your own response and the original text in the same paragraph and explain the difference the change of choice makes

Justify the decisions you made as a writer by referring to the audience and purpose you were writing for, using the metalanguage of the course

Explain where the two texts converge as well as where they diverge, and account for the convergence in terms of shared purpose or shared source material
