Michael's 2nd year revision lesson no. 1

Your task today is to plan a response and to at least write an introduction to the above question, using the now familiar exam techniques we've been using. This is open book, so feel free to chat with the person sitting next to you. Share your DAC paragraph, and revise the newspaper key terms together!

Remember, even if newspapers do not come up in the first assessment (they will definitely not come up in the second assessment or the third one!), the textual analysis you will be practising here will help you prepare for whatever print media comes up!

    Underline the key terms
      Come up with a 'knee-jerk reaction'

          Write a DAC introduction (that's definition, argument, context!)
            And finally, get stuck in to the nitty gritty of you PEA paragraphs
              And finally finally, write a short conclusion, which just sums up your argument
