Step 1: Understand the topic
Imagine that you have been given the topic:
In the text ‘Boy Overboard’, female characters face dangers and injustice. Discuss using examples from the novel.
Copy this topic statement into the middle of your sheet of butcher’s paper
![Page 5: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
On your paper, complete these 3 things:1. Underline the key words. Use a dictionary to
understand words you are not familiar with. 2. Rewrite the following topic in your own words
using synonyms (words with the same or similar meaning).
3. What is the topic asking? Complete this sentence. “This question is asking me to...”
In the text ‘Boy Overboard’, female characters face dangers and injustice. Discuss using examples from the novel.

Step 2: Brainstorm
On your page, brainstorm all the ideas you have about the topic.
Make a list of these things that might be relevant to the question.

TEEL – huh?Each body paragraph must follow TEEL:
T: Topic – say what this paragraph is going to be aboutE: Explain – what your argument for this paragraph is about in a few more sentences E: Example – use an example from the text to support your explanationL: Link – back to what the topic of the paragraph was
![Page 9: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step 4: write your draft Use your TEEL planner to help you structure your
essay draft You write your draft in full Use quotes and evidence to back up your argument
about the text Use formal language (no abbreviations, no text
language) Use present tense to discuss your argument (eg.
When Bibi yells at the sailor; When Jamal is facing…)
Be convincing Be specific (don’t waffle on, get straight to the point)
![Page 10: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Introductions are an important part of the essay as they set the tone for your piece.
They are also the first opportunity that you have to persuade your reader.
The introduction always provides two things:1. Contention (whether you agree with the
essay topic or not)2. Three arguments
Writing the essay: Introductions
![Page 11: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The introduction must include the name of the text: ‘Boy Overboard’ (single quotation marks) and the name of the author (Morris Gleitzman).
Eg: In the novel ‘Boy Overboard’ by Morris Gleitzman, female characters face dangers and injustice.
Your turn: Now you need to finish this introduction by writing in the three arguments
![Page 12: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conclusions are important as they leave a final impression on your reader.
Restate your contention (in different words than those used in your introduction.)
Summarise your arguments. Do not introduce any new ideas.
Your turn: Write a conclusion for the same topic as the introduction
Writing the essay: Conclusions

EXTENDED TEXT RESPONSE BODY PARAGRAPHS AND USE OF EVIDENCE
Year 8 English – Term 1 – Writing Lesson 2
![Page 14: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Your paragraphs are where you develop your main ideas. Each paragraph has a main idea/major argument.
Use TEEL to structure your paragraphs.T: Topic – say what this paragraph is going to be aboutE: Explain – what your argument for this paragraph is about in a few more sentences E: Example – use an example from the text to support your explanationL: Link – back to what the topic of the paragraph was
Body Paragraphs
![Page 15: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Using quotes & evidence – the 2nd T in TEEL Now we’ve read more of the book,
we know of some examples from the book we can use.
But what is a quote? What is evidence? And how do I tell you where I got
them from?
![Page 16: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Quotes
A quote is when we take something word for word from a text and put it into our own writing
A quote can be reusing what a character has directly said
A quote can also be a non-speaking part from the text
Whenever you quote, you use quotation marks (“…”) at the beginning and end of the quote
![Page 17: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Quote examples
Direct speech: As Bibi says, “You pongy lump of camel spleen. I’d like to kick you in the guts”.
Indirect speech: Jamal is shocked by Bibi’s attitude and thinks, “Nine-year-old kids shouldn’t hate their country”.
![Page 18: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Evidence
Sometimes you may want to describe a critical scene or someone’s actions, and a single quote may not be enough
In this case you can talk about what happened at a certain point in the novel to demonstrate what you are talking about
![Page 19: Introduction to extended text response structure & planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062811/5681613f550346895dd0a8ae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evidence example
Jamal shows that he is a positive person who always tries to find solutions throughout the book…. An example of this is in chapter 8, when he hatches a plan for himself and Bibi to be able to show the Afghani government how good they are at soccer. Jamal believes the government will be so impressed, they will forgive his parents for running the illegal school.

Referencing
“You pongy lump of camel spleen. I’d like to kick you in the guts” (pg 22)
