The academic jump between GCSE and A level is significant. Often there isn’t a transition program or materials in place, and some students struggle. I have created an ever-growing set of materials to compensate for this skill’s gap and students have found these materials incredibly helpful. I have used these materials after students have completed their GCSEs and indicated that they are planning to move onto ‘A’ level, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision. All have worked well for the students. This power point lesson focuses on the skills required to write a basic ‘A’ level essay. Through a series of structured exercises: the students learn how to create structured paragraphs, seek simple ways to write an introduction, and think carefully on how dynamic their conclusions should read. This is a complete resource. Enjoy.
