Before you read the “spoiler” bullet points below take a careful look at the text. Imagine it is a text you are using for your DP Language A Language and Literature assessments: the individual oral, the HL essay, or Paper 1 and analyze it accordingly. (This text would not be appropriate for Paper 2).
Some elements of the text to consider:
- The elements of the text at the top that identify it as an official government website
- The domestic audience for the text
- The menu and sidebar which contain related links
- The blue headings which differentiate sections of the text
- The formality of most of the language
- Noteworthy uses of language such as “we” in the second heading, “cry for justice” in the third paragraph, and “highest quality” in the fourth paragraph
- The use of a numbered list and bullet points
