課程筆記 Why plan? A brief plan can focus ideas and give the response a clear shape. Choose the planning time for the task and the time available. Identify form, audience and purpose, then select relevant points or events. Plan how to begin, develop and end without imposing a fixed number of points. Plan for this task Plan for this task Decision Example: school article Purpose and audience Argue for an outdoor-lesson trial Developed point Explain one practical learning activity Practical issue Address weather and access Conclusion Propose evaluation before expansion
Planning methods Use a spider diagram, bullet list or sequence of boxes if useful. An argument might develop a viewpoint, reasons, alternatives and a conclusion. A narrative may use a build-up and climax or another deliberate shape. Structure and paragraphs Use paragraphs to organise ideas: a new paragraph for a new point, speaker, time, place or topic. A topic sentence can signal the main point of an explanatory or argumentative paragraph. Other forms and effects may call for a different opening. Use discourse markers (connectives) to link ideas: "First", "Furthermore", "However", "Meanwhile", "Consequently". Vary structure : you could use a flashback, a circular structure or build to a climax.Make the relationship clear Make the relationship clear Link Relationship Furthermore Adds a developed point However Introduces a contrast Meanwhile Shows simultaneous events Consequently Signals a result
Beginnings and endings Hook the reader in the opening line. In the ending, link back to the start or leave a lasting image or call to action. Choose a purposeful ending Choose a purposeful ending Task Possible close Argument Draw reasons into a judgement Process explanation Clarify the result of the steps Narrative Resolve or deliberately leave a question Description Leave a significant final image
Managing time For a 45-minute task, 5 minutes planning, 35 writing and 5 checking is one possible starting allocation. Adjust to the actual task, available time and your writing needs; do not assume every examination has the same timings. 投影片 Sign up free to view the lesson slides
