AO 3 - worth 6/34 marks Ø What do you need to include in your answer for maximum marks for AO 3?

Defining context (AO 3) AO 3 is the understanding of the relationship between the ideas in the text and the contexts of the text. The range of contexts and relationships that is most relevant as part of AO 3 will depend on the text, the author and the task. � Teachers and students can consider context in a flexible way, depending on the text itself and whichever contexts are the most relevant for that particular text. These contexts may relate to the relationship between the text and the context in which it was written. � However, the contexts may also relate to the context within which the text is set: location, social structures and features, cultural contexts, and periods in time. Context, where relevant, may also apply to literary contexts such as genres, and also the contexts in which texts are engaged with by different audiences, taking the reader outside the text in order to inform understanding of the meanings being conveyed. � Acknowledgement of the universality of a literary text is an integral part of relating to it contextually. �
