This PowerPoint is a great general resource for all A-Level subjects that are essay based.
It was originally designed for A-Level Law but I have also used it for A-Level Religious Studies. You may want to edit it slightly for your own subject but it is vague enough in its terminology that it can be used for almost anything without editing!
The short PowerPoint goes through the ten steps necessary to prep for an in class essay, breaking each step down. This is great for Year 12 students who do not yet have the skills to prepare for essays effectively.
Steps included are:
Compile Information
Create a Rough Plan
Create Your Final Plan
First Timed Practice
Revise Plan
Write Without Notes & Mark
Revise Plan
