GCSE English Language - Scaffolded Descriptive Writing Bundle

4 Resources
This bundle incorporates all the scaffolded writing resources I have uploaded to TES. Together they create a continuous resource from the introduction of “bite size” openers to whole text creation. The aim, ultimately is to “self-scaffold” and that is what the last resource does. Once at that point students should be able to scaffold quickly with no assistance. Contents: 20 English scaffold openers (short, bite-size, lots of 'em!) Whole text excercise using scaffolding 2 whole text scaffolded exercises using the same picture to create different tone 3 self-scaffolded exercises where students create their own scaffold. This is enough to keep your students busy for quite a while. It is also an alternative approach to descriptive writing which may enliven teaching and learning. The aim, ultimately, is to significantly increase the marks awarded for Paper 1 Question 5 (descriptive writing) of GCSE English Language (AQA but these are editable and easily adaptable for any board). These exercises cover the following Assessment Objectives: AO5: Communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, selecting and adapting tone, style and register for different forms, purposes and audiences. Organise information and ideas, using structural and grammatical features to support coherence and cohesion of texts AO6: Candidates must use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with accurate spelling and punctuation.

The idea behind this resource is that students are already aware of scaffolded writing and are now ready to have a go at scaffolding their own. This is why this resource has self-scaffolded in the title! This resource consists of: 3 editable word documents – each containing a separate self-scaffolded descriptive writing task. There are a few hints on each paragraph the students will write but you can take these off if you think it is still too much of a spoon-feed! A Lesson plan A Powerpoint of the pictures in case you want to project them on to a smartboard A WAGOLL (what a good one looks like) for the third exercise (based around the First World War). It is hoped that after this point the students will be able to plan a very successful piece of descriptive writing without any prompts at all. The three exercises all follow a similar plan so by the time they have done all three, they should be ready! These exercises cover the following Assessment Objectives: AO5: Communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, selecting and adapting tone, style and register for different forms, purposes and audiences. Organise information and ideas, using structural and grammatical features to support coherence and cohesion of texts AO6: Candidates must use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with accurate spelling and punctuation.
