This beautifully illustrated powerpoint presentation is extremely engaging for the pupils. Through a series of structured tasks it prompts the students to communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, selecting and adapting tone, style and register for different forms, purposes and audiences. In the second part of the lesson the structured tasks remind the pupils to organise information and ideas, using structural and grammatical features to support coherence and cohesion of texts.

This 15 slide powerpoint presentation is beautifully illustrated and very engaging for the students. This lesson explores the written techniques of three authors exploring the same topic through a trio of articles. It encourages the students to compare and contrast the purpose, the techniques, the target audience and the potential outcomes of each piece of writing. I have used this lesson many times and I think it really helps the student's skills of analysis.
