This FREE ‘taster’ version of my full resource contains two main elements: Presentation: 10-slide Powerpoint presentation, showing an extract from the comparative poetry answer which is annotated to show your students how to use subject terminology, judicious quotes and comparative links. It is best used in conjunction with the accompanying worksheets but even without these, it should prove incredibly helpful for focusing students’ minds on exactly what is required to write a comparative poetry essay. If you are using the presentation alone, one possibility is that you could show students the slide featuring the extract from the planning grid and then ask them to ‘flesh’ out the planned paragraph. I’ve used this very well in timed conditions; I gave the class 15-20 minutes to write out a full paragraph, leaving the slide visible throughout. Another possibility is to reverse this: show them the written paragraph and ask them to jot down the ‘bones’ of the answer, i.e. create the plan. This helps them to understand the planning process and how it relates to the finished essay. The non-annotated written paragraph could also be displayed to the students, who must then list the aspects that correspond with Subject Terminology, Precise Quotes, Comparative Terms and Context. Students can be given different aspects to focus on, or can work either individually, in pairs or in groups to jot down the relevant information. The annotated written paragraph is an exemplar which is also helpful for giving students an insight into how the examiner will view their work, searching for and rewarding relevant material that satisfies the AOs. Worksheets: I’ve included three different worksheets for your convenience: Page One shows the plan and the finished paragraph Page Two and Three show the plan only, with space for your students to write out their version of the finished paragraph. Ideal for homework! Page Four shows the finished paragraph only, allowing students to annotate the Subject Terminology, Precise Quotes, Comparative Terms and Context Full version available here My full range of resources can be viewed at my Tes shop – or follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest for details of further freebies and special promotions!
