3. The introduction sets out the central meaning and the argument relating to it.
4. The core of the commentary is argued paragraphs in a continuous and structured manner.
5. The arguments are supported with close reference to the text.
6. The conclusion brings a sense of completeness and closure.
7. The commentary must include a considered personal response.
