CSWK: planning and writing

2024-25

10B English

Date Due

Nov. 18, 2024

Additional Info
The deadline for the first draft is Monday 18th November - by the lesson. This is non-negotiable and set for the whole year group.

Now that we have completed the final text ('Whistle' - if you missed Tuesday's lesson, please have a look at the content library notes and ask if you're unsure of anything) you have all the tools to complete your coursework essay.

BEFORE YOU START WRITING A PARAGRAPH, YOU MUST HAVE A THOROGH PLAN!!!

Introduction - use the coursework booklet guidance and I will talk to you in more detail on Friday (I'd recommend you don't write this until after you've written the rest of your essay).

Main body - treat each text separately (NO comparison) and cover 2/3 to 3/4 of the text in this paragraph. Clear points, powerful and relevant choices of quotations, close analysis of language and structure, including technical terminology (see if you can pick out two different things from the same quote for at least some of these), and consideration of authorial intent and reader response.

Conclusion - use the coursework booklet guidance. Unlike any other essay you write, save your final quotation from the end of the text for the conclusion so that you can draw together your ideas in a punchy summary of how the different writers present a range of powerful emotions/experiences of suffering.
