This lesson shares a secret 3 step formula for how to write thesis-style introductions for Lord of the Flies. In their 2022 examiner feedback, AQA mentioned thesis-style introductions as a common feature of high grade responses.
In this 24 slide PowerPoint, I provide a range of example thesis-style introductions for different characters and guide students on how to create their own.
It is aimed at helping students push for the higher grades by demystifying the idea of thesis statements into an easy to follow process.
This process can also be used for Macbeth and A Christmas Carol in Paper 1 so I have also included 2 examples for these texts and an extension task for these texts.

Thesis-style introductions: 3 step plan
‘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. Examples apply for Lord of the Flies, Macbeth and A Christmas Carol.
