Lesson details
Key learning points
- An excellent introduction should start with a general statement about the text.
- An introduction should then have a more specific statement about the focus of the question, followed by a thesis.
- Topic sentences need to be clear and linked to the question.
- Your analytical paragraphs should contain one main idea and offer supporting detail from your analysis.
- Your conclusion should summarise the argument and perhaps gesture towards wider ideas.
Common misconception
That once an answer is completed you don't need to return to it.
It's useful to think of your first response to a question as your first draft and then go back to it and rewrite and edit where necessary.
