Top band, student written model opinion article for A Level English Language. Produced by a student who achieved an A* in 2017. This model article demonstrates how to convey understanding of linguistic ideas by evaluating and challenging the views presented in the text and by other linguists. Students of all abilities will benefit from an example of effective article writing which they can emulate in their own work. Why it works: Shows how to assess ideas from the texts within your own article Demonstrates how to balance engaging writing with linguistic content Produced by a student who achieved an A* in 2017 Can be reworked as a template for your future (brilliant!) articles Easily turned into an assessment because text A & B are included. The model article can be used for reflection afterwards I have also included a powerpoint that encourages students to look at each text in detail, make meaningful comments on it & then use these ideas to plan an opinion article answer. Would work well as the premise of a lesson but is not a full lesson powerpoint. Model essays for all topics in A Level English Language Write an opinion article about language diversity and variation in which you assess the ideas and issues raised in Text A and Text B and argue your own views.
