 * __ W1 DISCURSIVE __**

Your homework task is to prepare a plan for your discursive essay. Your plan should be set out in the same way that you plan to structure your essay. You have notes in your jotter of 4 __possible__ structures to use and I have attached a document with a reminder of these.

Before starting your essay plan, you should read widely around your topic to help you to identify the main arguments that you want to make.

In your plan, you should include the following:

1. A draft introduction

2. An outline of structure in which you identify your argument for each stage of your essay and note ideas and evidence in the form of statistics and quotations of opinion that you could use to back up your point. You must record your source (weblink/newspaper and date/ book and author etc) beside all pieces of evidence.

e.g. Argument: Supporting Evidence:


 * Cloning**




 * __ W2 PERSONAL REFLECTIVE __**


 * Shooting the Tube**


 * __ W2 SHORT STORY __**


 * Choice: working with picture stimulus or working with a title/starting line**


 * __ W2 POETRY __**
