Students practise PEEL and TEEL paragraphs, embedding quotations, naming techniques and explaining their effects, and analysing images, film and media, then write a full analytical essay on a real text. It runs in a browser with no logins, works offline, and gives feedback on every piece of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeaching from one screen instead? The Analytical Writing Teacher-Led Edition is 12 lessons you run from a projector, TV or interactive whiteboard while students write in their books, reading the same three real texts, with a Lesson Guide page for every lesson.
