Help with commentary
There is no “right” way to do a commentary; it just needs to have the relevant information to describe your coursework. To follow is a list of the sorts of things you could do but it is by no means exhaustive and should not be followed as a template.

Why did you decide to do that subject for your coursework? Why is the title important? How have you used phonological, graphology, lexis, semantics, syntax, etc., to highlight your genre, audience and purpose? What are the most significant features? Explain your choice of style model. How much topic research did you do? Is there anything you changed?
