AQA English Language SECTION B Walking Talking Mock

This lesson provides a targeted teacher walk though mock exam revision approach to the AQA Language Paper 2, Section B Article Writing task by focusing on the deliberate use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos as planning tools. Students will first deconstruct the prompt to establish their audience, purpose, and persuasive stance.

The core activity involves structured planning where students consciously assign one of the three rhetorical appeals—Ethos (credibility), Logos (logic), or Pathos (emotion)—to the development of specific body paragraphs, ensuring their argument is balanced and compelling.

This structured approach moves directly into a guided drafting session, where students focus on weaving the assigned appeal effectively into the argument of each section, concluding with a brief peer review to check for the clear and sophisticated application of these persuasive techniques and of A05 and A06.
