USE TERMINOLOGY - talk about how the writer presents the points ie. words/phrases/devices/structure. Identify a whole range of different examples that prove the point
Connect the method with the effect on the reader. Why use the method? What does it do for the reader in terms of the question focus?
Use lots and lots of mini quotations! For one point, use all of the little one word/two word phrases which support it. Embed within a sentence.

Connectives to link your ideas together. You want to discuss the point as you would do in a conversation.

Key Elements for Writing
-
Paragraphs - clear topic sentences, organised paragraphs and discourse markers to link paragraphs
Sentences - use simple, compound and complex - the right tool for the right job
Starting Sentences
Use discourse markers to start with subordinate clauses - e.g. although his spelling was poor, he knew how to use a complex sentence
Use +ing verbs, +ed verbs or to+ verb: e.g.: "reading good books is key to success in English"
Start with an adverb (how) or an adverbial phrase e.g. "Slowly and stealthily, with dedication and determination, the girl stole every single highlighter from the box."
Start with a preposition (where/when) or a prepositional phrase e.g. "Late last night, as the moon shone luminously, I embarked on my annual squirrel hunt."
Words - use a range of carefully selected, interesting words. Be imaginative with your language: use metaphors, similes and personification
