Sentence stems - this is a great method! Really great tips! I will direct my students towards the video. There is so much more to essay writing than the mere 'writing' of it! I have just released a video on my channel where I use the metaphor of a 'chain' to demonstration there are 5 key interlinking parts to an essay that gets the high marks! all the best, Dr Egan
I require at least 2-4 sentences of analysis from my students. We do an If...then... sentence, a Because sentence, and then try to relate the experience/idea/topic to the real word before bringing it back to the story/article at hand. Do you have a video that expands on this level of analysis?
Hi! I've tried to use "This evidence shows...." and similar sentence stems, but I find students still just restate the prompt without going deeper into the explanation of their evidence. Some just can't connect the dots.
It may be time to reteach and show them exactly what you are wanting by providing several examples. Try working through a few with the class until you feel like they are ready to try it out independently.

I'm glad you found it helpful, and I love that metaphor!

I love this approach! We don't have a video that comes to mind, but I'll pass on the idea to our content team.

Do you know of any one who made a video on the use of rhyme in narrative structure?
I don't, but I'll be sure to pass it on to our team.
@@EBAcademics thank you.
@@EBAcademics I realize that this is above middle school education and appreciate the fact that you are asking about it.
