Practise Questions - Paper 2 (1 Viewer)

[Mysterious X]

Ok as the title suggests, I am searching for questions to practise for paper 2 on Friday. I can't really find any good ones on the internet, so I was wondering if people would be willing to share some of the better ones they have been given for their Trials, term two exams etc in each module? I will look for some of my own and edit this post at a later date,

Cheers .

Questions used by school etc:

1. You are speaking to an audience of your peers. Compose a speech in which you demonstrate how your understanding of conflicting perspectives is shaped by the construction of the texts. (2009 CSSA Trial)
