TASK 1: Write up your response to 'How does the extract construct representations of social class?' Screengrabs to add to your evidence would be very worthwhile.

TASK 2: Read and annotate the model answer.

Two level 4 answers (link is also on the right-hand side)


NOTE: The first answer's structure is to write 1 paragraph for each micro-element. The second answer splits the extract in 4 parts and considers how all 4 elements construct certain representations.

TASK 3: Make some notes on the extracts below to write up your extended answer to the question:
