← Written text essay: respond critically to written texts

2 How this connects to the other Level 3 English standards

This standard is the mirror image of 91473 (visual text) and shares its exact grade ladder with 91474 (unfamiliar text) — one essay structure, learned once, serves all three.

What carries over across the three English externals

  • 91473 uses the identical TEEL structure and the same critically/convincingly/perceptively ladder — only the medium (visual rather than written) changes.
  • 91474's four aspects (audiences/purposes, ideas, language features, structures) are the same categories this standard rewards, just applied to a text you have studied in depth rather than seen for the first time.
  • The "so what?" test after naming a technique — moving from description to analysis — is identical across all three standards, whatever the text type.

Why this matters for revision order

Drilling the TEEL paragraph shape here, where you already know your text deeply, is the easiest place to make the structure automatic — then it transfers directly to 91473's unfamiliar visual text and 91474's unfamiliar written text.
