This is an extract of a longer document that is around 43 pages long and over 12,000 words. It was written before the era of AI and was shared widely by students and colleagues in my department.
Many of the students I taught had strong backgrounds in science and mathematics, but struggled when it came to English Literature. One of my favourite things in teaching is breaking down difficult concepts (such as essay writing) into their component parts - and this guide was written for the kind of students that needed a scaffold, formula or framework through with to approach English.
Some English teachers have a resistance to this kind of resource, preferring to argue that you cannot ‘teach’ essay writing or break it down into a ‘formula’. There may be some truth to this if you want to go on to study English Literature beyond undergraduate level, but for many students, modelling, sentence stems and scaffolding is precisely what they need - English is no exception to any other subject.
This resource is written to prove to parents and students alike that you can learn how to write an essay, just as you can learn how to solve a quadratic equation or take a free kick!
