A Christmas Carol annotation, analysis and essay writing for beginners! Two developing lessons here - starting with the teacher showing how to annotate the first extract (description on Scrooge), and then getting students to use questions on the second extract (Fred extract) which then leads them onto annotating the final extract alone. Once all this is completed, go onto the second PPT which contains an essay plan with models of the plan and of a paragraph. Then students can have a go. Lots here - a full week of lessons which helps you get students independently thinking about extract analysis and planning in a structure. This really helped my Y10 get stuck into analysis and showed them they could do it without me. The plan and model then helped them create some 5+ essays on their first attempt. Enjoy!

Writing a Speech could be used as a follow up lesson or a preparation lesson before they analyse, as it helps students build a speech.
