Lesson details
Key learning points
- In this lesson, we will return to our essay plan and look at how to build the main body of our response, thinking about the function of the paragraph, the desired effect on the reader and the types of rhetorical devices that might be best to choose. We will do this as a slow write to give us time to think about our options. At the end of the lesson, we will critique our writing and compare to the model answer for fluency and control.
