Basic Essay Scaffold

Basic Essay Scaffold

These are basic essay scaffolds (one for planning and one for the final product) that I use for students in Stage 4 or those with a learning difficulty. They are a great supplement when offering exam/assessment modification/differentiation. They're not complex and allow students to plan and use a writing booklet, with guiding questions to inform their structure and comments in any context. Definitely a good buy.

Justice Study - Literary representation

Justice Study - Literary representation

These resources over FIVE texts that address the ideas of justice, progressing from conceptualisation to representation. Texts covered: - 'Justice' by Langston Hughes - poetry - Lady Justice - Statue/Persona - visual literacy - Martin Luther King, Jr. "I have a dream" - Speech (persuasive text) - We Shall Overcome - Old Spiritual Chorus - You're the Voice - John Farnham - song and film clip The slides include a variety of activities and questions. Furthermore, there is another worksheet that I use to supplement these text studies. It includes a number of independent/collaborative tasks for students to complete that cover your core text and the concept of Justice. It requires them to earn 20 points as they choose tasks to complete. I have found that this allows students to freely opt for the tasks they'd find most interesting.
