GCSE exam boards have stressed the importance of students expressing their point of view in non-fiction writing. Regarding the essentially boring nature of the exam questions and how to get students motivated to produce exemplary answers, I have decided to go down quite an abstract route with my class to get them to consider the importance of POV.
I have designed a quiz that requires students to answer 10 generic questions about their lives, hobbies and values. Depending on whether they answer majority A, B, C or D this will tell them what type of POV they have on the world. The students will either come out as having the following brain types: philosophical, realist, idealist or emotive. The power point will tell them a little bit about their POV.
To further encourage students to think deeply about how their vocabulary and linguistic choices can amplify and reveal their POV, I have also designed specific POV top tips sheets for the four POV types. This checklist has highly sophisticated generic vocabulary that students should be able to apply to any question but which clearly reveals their POV. It also outlines the linguistic features that would really aid them in expressing their own ideological stances. Please note that the quiz and checklists are on the same document so they will need to be printed one-sided.

Although this is a nice resource, it is quite expensive as there is only one lesson provided. My top set would complete this in about 30 minutes.
