This Evaluation Writing Frame (or Cheat Sheet as we like to refer to it in my class) is perfect for lower ability students or when just starting the course in Year 12. It outlines exactly what they should write for common evaluation points, such as supportive evidence, using the “Point, Explain, Link” structure. This support with essay writing provides students with confidence and works as a briliant scaffold both in the classroom or at home.
There are two ways of using this resource:
Version 1: Page 1 printed, this works well glued into their notes or book which they can refer to when completing evaluation paragraphs in class or at home.
Version 2: Printed on both sides and laminated, this works well as a loose reference sheet they can refer to when completing evaluation paragraphs in class or at home. On the back, they can practice writing evaluation paragraphs using a whiteboard pen to perfect their writing style with the flexibility to change their wording throughout. They can then take a photo of this to write into their notes when they are ready or for homework.
