I’m designing trio lessons for each aspect of structure so please have a look at my other resources (or keep checking for uploads if they’re not available yet!). Structure is an aspect of the new specs that students really struggle with, especially when it comes to employing it in their own descriptive writing; this compartmentalised approach for each structural device has proved very successful so far.
