Five Tips for Writing - Part One, Planning and Paragraphing

[@owenowen212]

I had my exam today and, thanks to you, I feel like I rly did my best in it. Thanks so much and keep up your outstanding work!

[@sharraddavies5162]

You helped me so much. Thank you, I'm feeling confident for tomorrow doing higher tier!

[@ColdCoffy]

Flipping heck, your awesome. your videos have taught me more than my whole school's education

[@MsMidniteStar]

THAT WAS AMAZING!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I completely agree with planning and relaxing... I'm having to retake my English Language because in the exam I just panicked and all the studying I did just went out of the window. To add to this I didn't even bother to plan because I felt I was running out of time when doing the writing exercise so in the end when I read through my work all my ideas were jumbled and confused on the page. :c BUT practice makes perfect now I'm aiming for that A* :D

Hello! It's been a long time, hasn't it? I miss the lovely school dinners at St Aidan's! Good luck with your exams!

[@wiqassikander9624]

Thanks, it was really helpful! I personally think it was really useful. The only thing I would suggest is if you could use exam based questions and how to answer them. This will help me and everyone a lot.. Thanks once again!!! : )

[@laineyruth8166]

Thank you Mr. Davies!!

[@idesignandcreate]

Thanks for the useful tips.

[@helpmemrdavies]

Good question. One really simple and reliable way to ensure a good conclusion to your writing is to end with a series of fancy techniques. So that might be three rhetorical questions with the same beginning (we call that syntactical parallelism) "Will you write a strong conclusion? Will you move the examiner? Will you claim the A?" and you could chase that with a series of short sentences: "Go head. Try. Risk. Succeed." The conclusion is really one last chance to show off!

[@andrwleong]

[@The_Reductionist]

make videos about how to answer the different questions on the exam paper. i know some people do it, but they are often just talking quietly with text on the screen, this was engaging and actually made me learn. Thanks!

[@C_A_Lynch]

5.use your plan to show structure of your whole writing. label paragraph order to show flow of your writing and develop so it is more advanced. The simplest of these, in my opinion, is cyclical structure (work begins ends on same point). To show this in your work all you have to do is draw two circles side by side and do 2 or 3 branches off labeling order and righting points but whatever point u write 1st also write for your last, this is an A-A* structure and gives a lot of extra marks.

[@Mexecution19]

OMG YOURE GOLDEN MR.. TEACHER thank you thannk you..!!

[@Writingbasics]

Planning is key to success!

[@emilybigg]

yeah and night of the scorpian too please :)

[@TitanDNB]

I took literally all the information you told in this video and put it into the test. It helped me write in so much more detail! I feel like a total idiot right now, because I wrote so much for question 1 & 2 (20 marks) that I didn't have time for question 3 - Writing a newspaper article (20 marks). Huge disappointment. - I'm on a foundation paper by the way, ~65% = C. I actually felt like crying after the exam. (Yes I'm a guy.) - Now there's no chance of me getting an overall C in English. :(

[@babbelontv]

[@nineteenthly]

As it happens, when I'm writing notes I use pilcrows for paragraphs instead of starting new lines to save paper, but probably nobody else is left using as much paper and pen ink as I.
