A quick starter activity given out as a card sort - used to help pupils make their writing more tentative. Can be used as a brush up on the skill.
Ideas on how to use:
I used this particular activity with my Yr11s. I cut them out and got them to put it in order of least to most tentative. Words which show tentativeness can be highlighted/written up on the board. They then had to write their own tentative paragraphs by answering an essay question on 'An Inspector Calls'.
Focus can be kept on individual characters to help pupils develop close reading skills, as well as to aid their understanding of the text as a whole. Prior reading and understanding of the text is required for this activity. Works well for exam prep.
Hope that helps, Sohnee.
