Macbeth writing frames and essay plans to support lower ability students

(0)
Writing frames and essay plans designed to help lower ability GCSE students write about the whole of the text not just the given extract. There are 7 writing frames in total using two different styles. Some with an introduction and conclusion and some without. For each question I have identified 5 points with 5 quotations. Students must then develop each point by adding language analysis, inferences zoom in to language and zoom out to context. 2023 update: Extra 4 essay plans added. Also includes some advice on thesis statements with an easy to follow 3 sentence formula. Also includes advice on how to create a thesis-style introduction. ‘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.
