I followed the advice in this video and I got a 7 with no stress! I took another paper 1 a month later and without studying, I just remembered this technique and got a 6. Bless your soul for this. Thank you so much.

TEAPCALIM

T - Text type
E - Elements of text type
A - Author
P - Purpose
C - Context
A - Audience
L - Language
I - Image
M - Meaning

Text Type:
***Which text type is it?
Elements of text type:
***How do we know it's that text type?

^ Why did the author choose this specific text type? And why is that essential for the author's purpose?

Audience:
***Who is this text written for? Why is this text written for them? How do we know it's written for them? (explicitly or implicitly)

Purpose:
***Why has the author written this text? And how do we know that it is because of that reason? (both obvious and underlying purpose)

Context:
***Time/Place/Situation (TPS)
***Look at the date, country and the possible situations related to those two pieces of information
***This can genuinely add more meaning to a piece than what is written

Author:
***Who is the author? Why is this important? Does the author add or retract credibility to the piece? Does the author have an agenda?

Language:
***Literary features / rhetorical techniques / persuasive techniques / tone / mood
***Relate these features and techniques to other areas of analysis, such as: purpose, context, and audience
***These are the ways the author uses in order to make his text more convincing

Image:
***Why did the author included an image? Why did they choose this particular image? What is the focus of the image? What is included / excluded? What mood does it create? How does it position the audience to react?
***If there is an image, dedicate an entire paragraph to that image

Meaning:
***Why is it important to the author? Why is it important to society?
***P1 tends to deal with societal issues -- if you can bring out the relationship between the issue inside a text, society and the author's opinions, that would be fantastic
***Are there any allusions to other texts?
***What is the deeper significance of the text?
***Bring this out with strong quotes


- Tailor all your points to the guiding question
- All the components of TEAPCALIM interrelate with each other (8:35)
- TEAPCALIM isn't your answer in totality, but are devices to support it
- It's a way to dissect the most useful components of a text :)
