Three writing frames to help low-ability students structure exam-style response to questions based on the themes of ambition and deception. Students are provided with a very short extract and an exam-style question. I made the extracts shorter than normal to make it more accessible for the students. The writing frame starts off each paragraph for the student. There is then space for the students to use their knowledge of the play to add further analysis of each quotation. It has been designed to fit onto A4 sheets for ease of printing. For some students it may be necessary to enlarge the sheet to A3. These resources help build student confidence and is an important step for helping them structure their answers independently. Also contains guidance on thesis-style introductions. ‘A thesis-style introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can be a really helpful way of starting your answer. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you know what you think. It can provide a strong foundation for the rest of the essay. Keep referring back to the introduction to create a coherent response.’ AQA examiner’s report 2022 Creating a thesis-style introduction is a challenge for many students but is essential in helping students to reach levels 4-6 in the mark scheme. I have produced a simple 3 point structure to help students quickly generate a thesis statement in timed exam conditions. There is an example of the 3 point structure being used and then students attempt to imitate the structure for 4 other exam-style questions.
