Please note the modelled paragraph from today’s lesson and please note the teaching and learning points below:

• Note the first sentence acts as a thesis statement.
• There are SHORT and RELEVANT quotations used throughout.
• There is reference to specific language features and these have been used consistently throughout the response.
• The use of words like ‘reinforced’ and ‘further’ connect topic sentence 1 to topic sentence 2 and show how the response to the text is cohesive.

You are advised to use and to reflect on this structure in your own responses.
