Visual sources with carefully drawn boxes outlined on them. What to do:

Each “box” is one paragraph.They revisit each para with each new skill acquired. #engchatuk pic.twitter.com/Q7zBk6tobJ

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js I just noticed the above tweet on my timeline by @Ralston_H. I don’t know how Helen R. is using this idea, but I am going to do the following…

1. When providing students with a source/image/visual prompt I will add an outline around key areas of importance
2. I will then ask students to write a paragraph per outlined box
3. I will ask them to consider the sequencing of their paragraphs and how to draw out key elements within the boxes
4. Students can also think about whether any areas have more or less significance than others

Students can work individually or in pairs/groups for this task. Variations: Cut the boxes up and give them to the students one by one, asking them to piece together the image as they write? A more simple way?

Draw a 3×3 grid over the @AQAEnglish Lang Sec B images. Turn 9 phrases into a full response. Really helped my class to build content! pic.twitter.com/PwmrFZZLkS
