Writing Paper Part 1. Task Type: Essay
Question
In your English class you have been talking about animal welfare and the role of zoos. Now your teacher has asked you to write an essay.

Zoos are an outdated concept and should be banned. Do you agree?
Notes
Write about:
1. the ways in which zoos play a positive role in animal welfare.
2. why some people might have a negative view of zoos.
3 ................ (your own idea)
Write your essay for your teacher (around 140-190 words).
What you need to do to pass
Read the checklist on the next slide first to understand what the examiner is looking for in a good answer. 


Slide 5 - Slide

Essay Writing Criteria: 
Should include a brief introductory paragraph. The points in the main body of the essay should be in a logical order, i.e. the positive role of Zoos to begin with, the negative view later. The third body paragraph should be your own idea and the conclusion will sum up and state your own opinion.

Slide 6 - Slide

Ideas for writing: Ask yourself the following questions to help you get started:
  • How might zoos play a positive role in animal welfare? E.g. Helping with research? Saving endangered species? Educating the public?
  • What criticisms can be levelled at zoos? E.g. Animals are not living in their natural environment? Wild animals are captured to be moved to zoos
  • Animals can suffer from stress? Is there another way of looking at the issue? E.g. Is there a compromise to be made? Are criticisms of zoos totally unjustified? Should more support be given to the natural environment?

Slide 7 - Slide

Drafting and proofreading your work
You should look at your plan for the task and decide:
Have you responded to the statement and the notes appropriately?
Is the essay organised in a clear and logical way?
Is the language accurate with a good range of structures?
Is the style OK?
Will it have a positive effect on the reader?
If the answer is 'no' to any of these questions then you will need to do some more drafting!

Slide 8 - Slide

Use of English
Use the following slides to practice with the Quizlet Cards.
Tip: Remember we have discussed the strategy for some of you may be to do the Reading and Use of English paper in the following order: 
Start with the Reading paper 5,6,7 (give yourself 50 minutes)
Then go back to the Use of English 4,3,2,1 (give yourself 25 minutes)
You will need to spend the most time on the Reading paper.
