I think I used to go: topic 1: text 1 then text 2... topic 2: text 1 then text 2. In separate paragraphs.
Okay, thanks. That's what I usually do but then one of my essays was marked by a different teacher for Trials (AOS essay) and she told me to break it up more so it wasn't just a 'wall of text'. But my teacher always says it is fine?

I was told 3-4 quotes per paragraph was the minimum.



And English teachers prefer shorter quotes.
Yeah can't believe I didn't try using shorter quotes earlier, it makes it so much easier to write an essay and started doing better.

Are you confident you can answer all rubric points effectively with 16 quotes? I got like 15 or so and they answer like 2 rubric points lol

If you used broad enough quotes and themes you should be able to spin them to apply to multiple points in the syllabus.

Ive mainly set myself up for confronting discoveries and transformations as a result of discoveries, but I've memorised in case they ask something about attitudes to discovery
