S5/6 historians are focusing on essay skills this week. Today, they have all tackled the same question. They had 8 minutes to write their introduction, and then swap iPads. They read their partners introduction and followed the argument to write paragraph 1. They continued swapping until the whole essay was written. This proved to be a very useful exercise in understanding the importance of outlining clear arguments and factors in the introduction.
