Analytical Exposition

1. The Independent Challenge

Students are tasked with writing an independent Analytical Exposition by choosing a topic relevant to the model text but from their own perspective.

Topic Options:

• The Danger of "Buy Now, Pay Later" Apps for Teenagers.

• Why Schools Should Include Financial Planning in the Curriculum.

• The Importance of Learning Digital Investment for Beginners.

2. Interactive "Auditory Sketching" (Pre-Writing)

Before writing, students perform an independent listening task to gather ideas:

• Audio Research: Students find one short video or podcast related to their chosen topic.

• Listening Log: Students must note down 3 facts or data points (similar to the "60%" statistic in the model text) that they heard to use as evidence in their writing.

4. Interactive Peer-Feedback Loop

Once the text is finished, students engage in a final interactive activity:

• The "Listener" Test: Students read their text aloud to a partner. The partner must listen and identify: "What is the Thesis?" and "What evidence was used?"

• Self-Correction: Based on the oral feedback from their partner, students refine parts of their text that may not sound persuasive enough.
