What Component 3 Is

Component 3 is the optional second route for Cambridge IGCSE First Language English.
Paper 1 is compulsory; you then either take Paper 2 or complete a coursework portfolio.
Coursework gives you the freedom and scope to improve your writing over time, rather than in timed exam conditions.
You can choose topics of personal interest to you.
You can edit, revise and correct your work independently so you submit something of the highest possible quality.

Portfolio Structure and Marks

You complete three written assignments, and the portfolio as a whole is worth 80 marks.
Each assignment should be about 500–800 words in length.
Assignment 1 (30 marks): writing to discuss, argue and/or persuade in response to a text or texts.
Assignment 2 (25 marks): writing to describe.
Assignment 3 (25 marks): writing to narrate.
The assignments may be completed in any order.

How the Marks Are Split

Total marks for writing = 65.
Total marks for reading = 15, tested in Assignment 1 only.
Because most marks come from writing, the writing assessment objectives carry the greatest weight.
The portfolio tests writing objectives W1–W5 and, for Assignment 1, reading objectives R1–R5.

Assignment 1: Discuss, Argue or Persuade

This is a piece of directed writing in response to a text or texts.
The texts should be about two sides of A4 in total.
The texts may consist of facts, opinions and/or arguments which you select, analyse and evaluate, and integrate into your own views.
You must evaluate and develop the information in the text(s), using some of the same skills as Paper 1 Question 4.
You write a discursive, argumentative or persuasive response in your own words.
The response must be in one of these formats: speech, letter, article or report.

Assignment 2: Descriptive Writing

This is a piece of descriptive writing.
You must develop ideas and images that create a convincing, well-defined picture.
Your description should use varieties of focus.

Assignment 3: Narrative Writing

This is a piece of narrative writing.
You must craft a well-defined plot.
You develop the plot with features of fiction writing, such as setting and characterisation.

Writing Assessment Objectives (W1–W5)

W1: articulate experience and express what is thought, felt and imagined — write convincingly to convey real and imagined experiences, thoughts and feelings.
W2: organise and structure facts, ideas and opinions for deliberate effect — sequence and connect ideas to interest and influence your reader.
W3: use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures appropriate to context — use them deliberately to achieve certain effects.
W4: use language appropriate to purpose and to engage the audience — vary your writing to suit the purpose, audience and form of the task.
W5: make accurate use of spelling, punctuation and grammar — write accurately, avoiding errors.

Reading Assessment Objectives (R1–R5)

R1: demonstrate understanding of explicit meanings — show you understand the obvious meanings in a text.
R2: demonstrate understanding of implicit meanings and attitudes — recognise hints and suggestions to understand hidden meanings and the writer's attitudes.
R3: analyse, evaluate and develop facts, ideas and opinions, using appropriate support from the text — explain and develop them, referring to evidence such as quotations.
R4: demonstrate understanding of how writers achieve effects and influence readers — consider the deliberate choices a writer has made and why.
R5: select and use information for specific purposes — choose relevant and appropriate information from a text to answer different questions.

Rules and Requirements

Your work may be handwritten or word-processed.
Dictionaries may be used for the coursework portfolio.
Your portfolio must include the first draft of one of the three assignments submitted.
The first draft does not contribute to the final internally assessed mark or the externally moderated mark.
The portfolio must also include the text(s) used for Assignment 1.
