Structure Strip: Persuasive Writing Scaffold

This structure strip can help students feel more confident with the creative writing process. This strip is specifically tailored for the AQA Language Paper 2 Q5 (speech/letter/article). Students stick it on the left and write on the right-hand-side - imagine them writing this alone and thinking "I did that!", then you take away the stabilisers one step at a time.

Structure strips will:

• Provide clear and visible scaffolding

• Reduce cognitive overload

• Promote independence over time

• Encourage self-assessment and reflection
