1.
Change
up the nature of your essay plans so that you have experience of writing and
planning as many different types of essays as possible. Also use the mark scheme to plan, write and
assess your revision and essay skills.
a.
Write normal essay plans
b.
Additionally
you might find it useful to use Essay jigsawing © - Practice writing essay plans with
introductions and conclusions only and bullet pointed middle paragraphs with 1
or 2 paragraphs evaluated
c.
If you
are revising in a group you could write an Essay puzzle © where you write an
introduction, different people write each of the main paragraphs and a
different person writes the conclusion.
d.
Then
evaluate each person’s section, improve, photocopy and distribute it out to
each person to use for revision.
2.
Again if revising in pairs or groups, then
you might find it useful to come to a joint revision session together and peer
assess each other’s work using the mark schemes.
a.
In pairs
you might also find it
useful to do half an essay each and come together and finish each other’s
essays.
b.
If a
friend has written a good essay, then you can use it as a revision tool to
create an essay plan and they could do the same with yours.
c.
If it is a different topic you could
even use it as a template.
If you written an essay and didn’t get the mark you wanted,
again in pairs you could assess each essay focusing on what you can use from
the mark scheme to improve your essay.
