  5. Ask questions about context idea (Identity and Belonging) • 1) What makes up our identity, why is identity important? Is there only one type of identity- do we have a true identity? Etc • 2) Why do we need to belong? What are the advantages or disadvantages of belonging? What groups do you belong to and what kind of social codes of conduct do you have to abide by in order to fit in? What happens when belonging stifles your identity? Etc • 3) Give examples of your personal experience, historical events or figures, social studies and research findings to support your ideas.

  6. SECTION C LANGUAGE TO PERSUADE • Gather as many articles, speeches, weblogs or any other forms of persuasive texts as you can. • Ideally, you should be giving your student practice articles throughout the year so that they don’t forget about language analysis when it comes to the final exam. • Beginning of the year (3 lessons), middle of the year (3 lessons), end of the year (3 lessons). • Ask your student to write up one major argument for each body paragraph and describe what persuasive techniques support the writer’s arguments.

  7. ESSAY STRUCTURE Introduction: In the opinion piece (form) “Technological Trauma” (Title) that was published the Herald Sun 10 October 2010 (publication date and place) , LarrisaDubeki (Author) contends in a serious and logical tone (tone) that cyber bullying should not be tolerated by parents and authorities of the community (targeted audience) because it is causing physical, emotional and psychological damage to young people (contention).

  8. ESSAY STRUCTURE BODY: • Each body paragraph should deal with a different IDEA or GROUP that you identified. The body paragraphs should be structured according to TEEL. • Topic sentence: Re-introduce the author, tone word and the first argument you will be examining. Rephrase the sentence that you used in your introduction. • Evidence and explanation: State what kind of language the writer used to persuade their audience. Then explain the narrow and broad effect using an intended effect sentence. Repeat this pattern until you have analysed all the relevant language.

You could make a comparison between the visual and written or comment on the appropriateness of the progression of the piece. • End with an overall statement about the author’s use of techniques and contention. Are the techniques effective?

  10. GOOD LUCK The above ideas, instructions and essay structures are only points for you to consider. The most important tip is to enable your student to develop their own imagination and skills.
