Shark Debate Speech Transactional Writing

Fashioned on Eduqas’ Language Component 2 paper - transactional writing - this series of lessons was created to engage middle ability year 9 / 10 boys. It begins with an analysis of an article about sharks, linked to the key question - are sharks brutal killers or natural predators? Followed by discussion and debate around a short documentary, with the written outcome of a speech, arguing for an answer to the key question. WAGOLLs and scaffolds for writing included, along with a series of engaging Do Now tasks.
