The five parts of the IO structure?
Open, extract 1, extract 2, widen to whole works, conclude.
How long is the opening?
About one minute — issue + line of inquiry.
How long per extract?
About 2.5 minutes of close analysis each.
What is the ‘widen’ section?
Stepping out to how each WHOLE work treats the issue.
Why signpost?
So the examiner can follow — it shows control (Criterion C).
The commonest structural failure?
Running out of time by overspending on the first extract.
Which criterion is structure?
Criterion C — focus and organisation.
What does the conclusion do?
Says what the two works together reveal about the issue.
How do you avoid running out of time?
Time each section and rehearse the whole to length.
Structure in one line?
Open → extract 1 → extract 2 → whole works → conclude, signposted and timed.
