A04 Flashcards
AO4 focuses on making connections across texts and exploring meanings and interpretations that arise not just from the text's own context (AO3), but also from broader historical or cultural contexts informed by the study of the period. We can have outside A04 for TGG but for the most part our A04 will be from our comparative poems (4 cards)
