By now, you should have:
- a set of notes from all the completed reading and activities in the ‘First Steps’ section.
- a more detailed set of notes, based on at least three sources, on one particular topic from the ‘Digging Deeper’ section
- your collaborative work on two Jamboards, your Group Jamboard, and the Whole-class Jamboard.
Activity:
As your final activity for this research guide, you will need to return to the question you were asked at the start:
Many would argue that the 1960’s were a time of great change and upheaval, do you agree?
Using the resources you’ve created (as listed above), you should now be able to give a detailed answer to this question.
Activity:
Using the PEEL (Point, Example, Explanation, Link) paragraph structure that you have used in both Year 9 and Year 10, write a mini-essay that responds to the question with a clear opinion.
Your mini-essay must include:
- a short introduction in which you state your opinion (2-3 sentences)
- two PEEL paragraphs to support that opinion
- a short conclusion (2-3 sentences)
These mini-essays will help to support the more extensive essays you will be writing once you have analysed the novel in depth with your English teacher.
Good luck!
