Lesson details
Key learning points
- Writing is most successful when structure, content and vocabulary is planned.
- Information in this section should be specific and detailed.
- Cohesion, making use of research and a formal tone are appropriate in an essay.
- An essay can use a bank of research, evidence, statistics and quotes to inform the reader.
Common misconception
Pupils may write the full section as one paragraph.
Parts of the plan are explicitly allocated into paragraphs one and two. This is also modelled in the second learning cycle.
