Target: Improve planning. Take time to think about order, cohesion, progression of topics, APF, etc.
Task: Look at a power text, annotate it as much as is possible (in ten minutes) and then practise writing out an essay plan. Don't worry about timings the first time, but next time try to write the plan within ten minutes. Review the plans and see if they include a range of terminology, frameworks, etc. See if there is a clear order and sense of progression - and make sure topics can link back to the question and the APF. Make sure to think about evaluative discourse markers for cohesion of points.
I've tried this with one text so far and taking time to organise my thoughts really helped. Hopefully after doing this a couple more times my planning will develop and I'll be able to do it quickly and thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteFab. Good self-eval and focussed work. Where is your grouping of two texts?
