3. By completing this practice [***] SR item,
I am using the following common
curriculum elements (CCEs):
• CCE 5 Interpreting the meaning of
pictures/illustrations;
• CCE 28 Empathising;
• CCE 29 Comparing, contrasting; and
• CCE 43 Analysing.
4. Do I know what “contrast” means?
It is a very important key term used in
the QCS Test SR sub-test.
“Contra” in ancient Greek and Latin
means opposite or against.
If I am asked to contrast two photos or
pieces of stimulus, then I must only
state their differences. This is CCE 29.
5. ITEM 1 [***] How many sentences do I write in only six minutes?
Describe and contrast these two official
engagement photographs of Prince William
and Kate Middleton, which were taken by
the celebrity photographer, Mario Testino,
in St James’s Palace in London.
Refer to two specific features of the photograph.
Comment on their body language and physical proximity.
