  1. Preparing for chapter one essay

  2. Using the ‘under the magnifying glass’ grids you completed yesterday… • You will now construct an ALAAL paragraph during the next 15-20mins. • Remember BABOP as a way of extending your analysis: Because – a straightforward explanation will follow Also – by using this you are sustaining your point (making it last) But – further detail is coming, possibly a contradiction Or – you are going to offer an alternative Perhaps – you are not sure, but it’s a possibility because of a certain word or idea

  3. ALAAL structure to follow • See ‘Mathematical grace’ example if you need a reminder. • Topic sentence: • Quotation: • Analysis:

  4. CNY Homework • You will write one more ALAAL paragraph & complete a plan for the essay question: How effective is the opening chapter of the novel?

  5. Initial planning will be done in groups. • Groups will be given a focus area from chapter one and plan how they would write a paragraph for that focus area. • Each group should: • construct a TOPIC SENTENCE (referencing McEwan’s name, directly answering the question & introducing the paragraph of analysis to come). • Select the best line from the chapter that could be used as the main quote for an ALAAL paragraph. • Select a supporting quote from chapter one that could be embedded in ALAAL analysis. • Bullet point between 3–5 ideas of how you can build analysis and support the point of your topic sentence while answering the question.

  6. Essay Areas of focus • The use of literary devices • Imagery • Pace and urgency related to the balloon incident (sentence structuring and organisation) • Joe’s retrospective viewpoint

  7. Summary: Construction of your essay plan • Introduction – fully written – what goes into an introduction? • 4 Planned paragraphs (on each of the areas listed on the previous slide) with TS, Main Q, supporting Q to embed, 3-5 points for analysis. • One full ALAAL on any of the 4 areas of focus (TS, main Q with full written analysis to include one embedded quote). • Conclusion (judgement) – fully written

  8. Reflection • Ask one question which could be directed towards Ian McEwan about his first chapter. Perhaps consider: • Character • The event • The plot • Narrative viewpoint • McEwan’s style Example: Did you intend for Joe to be a reliable narrator?
