Mr L's 17-page booklet has an explanation, exercises, quiz and answers. It also comes with an A4 colour poster, which is a useful aide memoire to help students remember the features of non-fiction writing to comment. This resource is estimated to last for 2 x 1 hour lessons.
 
Writing to comment requires students to analyse and evaluate content, whether it’s a piece of literature, a scientific article, or a social issue. This process enhances their critical thinking skills, encourages their confidence in articulating opinions and helps them to understand different perspectives.
 
Mr L’s Non-Fiction Writing to Comment Study Guide is an ideal tool for teaching Key Stage 3 students about this non-fiction style of writing for the first time, and for Key Stage 4 students revising for their GCSE English Language exam.
