In this week’s update, we’ve added another Paper 1 from the climate change text found in the National Geographic website.

You can find the response here and the other two responses from this exam here and here.

What is great about this exemplar is that is can help all students.  For those students who often achieve lower than this, they can use this exemplar as a goal, comparing and contrasting it to their own writing while also reaching for the next level.  To students who are at this level, they can critique the ways in which it falls short with the hope that is creates a greater understanding for what they personally need to do in their own writing.  And for students who are more eloquent in their responses, they can read this exemplar to remind themselves of the common pitfalls of what not to do in an exam.  

Best,

Tim and David
