Works pupils through how to write a thesis statement for GCSE. The purpose of this lesson is to build students’ confidence in thesis writing, linking the thesis statement to the body of the essay and encourages students to explore the thought process behind each step. The purpose of this lesson is to ‘demystify’ the writing process. This lesson seeks to explicitly teach one strategy to tackling essay writing. The slides walk students through a heavily scaffolded, step-by-step process, which, by the end of the lesson students will have practiced the skill of essay/rhetorical writing and will have exercised the thought process that goes into each section. In the ‘Resources’ section, there are a range of texts that you can choose from which can be used to explore the ‘question’ used to model the process. The questions is ‘How does the writer present attitudes towards love?’. The teacher has the freedom to choose from a range of texts (can be found at the end of this PPT under the ‘RESOURCES’ section). Teachers can choose from: Shelley’s ‘Love’s Philosophy’ Barrett Browning’s ‘Sonnet 29’ Extract from a Guardian newspaper article on the science behind love Extract from the novel ‘War Horse’
