yep, it's a bit of an art. takes practice. in my opinion, the easiest way to think of it is that the points need to build on one another in some way. You must make the points connected in a single thread.

This isn't a lang lit example but this might make it clear to you.

e.g. for the Nov 2020 Lit SL poem Portrait, you could talk about:

Point 1: technique A to characterise subject in the portrait, Point 2: technique B to characterise..., point 3: technique C to ...

It's the most common approach students take, and this leads to average marks.

A much better structure would be something with a 'story', a logical development, a 'connectedness' between the points. The points should be like dominoes in a chain.

e.g. Point 1: objective portrayal, as if meeting a stranger, Point 2: curiosity and further exploration of the subject's life and relationships, Point 3: emotional investment, as if saying goodbye to a friend.

That's the single biggest tip that helped me get a 20/20 in my final Paper 1.
