What's an effective method of drawing links between two texts? I often find myself making superficial links using words such 'similarly' or 'in contrast'.

In contrastingly,

Furthermore,

likewise,

similarly,

comparatively,

To compare,

furthermore,

Nevertheless,

To connect,

Same as above,

Not same as above,

To link,

To show be comparison,

Plus, add sophistication, clear structure, style of writing, use the open your comfort with only or buy new pens and see what works for you, and finally bullshit your way out of trouble, by studying hard for your essays.

"xxxxx mirroring xxxxx in text xxx", "Parallel to xxxx in text xxxx, xxxx symbolises xxxx in the same way".

Synthesizing within essays a skill which requires time and patience to imbibe. Most often, students master it just before the HSC.
Remember, your links are essentially an indicator of the extent to which you are ENGAGING, thus answering the question/stimulus. So, superficial links can be easily descried.
In order for your links to be competent, ensure that you continuously refer to the premise of the statement and link to, for instance, context for Module A.
Ideally, you should be linking throughout your essay. However, most B6 students just link at the end. So, utilise connecting words (those mentioned above).
