15 Conceptual Statements - one for each poem. Students must work out which poem each conceptual statement is referring to.
Also contains summaries of each poem using the ‘because, but, so’ method from the writing revolution.
The ‘because, but, so’ method is an excellent tool for teaching students to think analytically about each poem in the Power and Conflict anthology. This tool is powerful because it encourages students to expand their thinking with precision and detail.
After studying each poem, I ask students to write a ‘because, but, so’ paragraph on it.
This document collates ‘because, but, so’ paragraphs on all 15 poems as examples to assist students with revising the key ideas in each poem.
A writing frame for responding to any question on the 19th century novel section of the English Literature exam. Will work equally well with A Christmas Carol or Jekyll and Hyde - the two most popular texts.
Effective at guiding students towards high quality responses.
lso includes advice on how to create a thesis-style introduction on A Christmas Carol.
‘A thesis-style introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can be a really helpful way of starting your answer. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you know what you think. It can provide a strong foundation for the rest of the essay. Keep referring back to the introduction to create a coherent response.’ AQA examiner’s report 2022
Creating a thesis-style introduction is a challenge for many students but is essential in helping students to reach levels 4-6 in the mark scheme. I have produced a simple 3 point structure to help students quickly generate a thesis statement in timed exam conditions. There is an example of the 3 point structure being used and then students attempt to imitate the structure for 4 other exam-style questions.
