IB ENGLISH B: HOW TO WRITE 16 TEXT TYPES PACK MEGA BUNDLE

This is the complete bundle containing all of the HOW TO WRITE ENGLISH B TEXT TYPE PACKS that I have created.

Before purchasing this product:

- Please download the FREE ‘How to write a LETTER OF COMPLAINT Pack’. This will give you a clear idea of the structure and content of all of the How to… Packs.

- Please watch the promo video I have made. This will give you a visual overview of what to expect.

- Please ensure you have not already purchased one or more of the products already associated with this bundle.

With each pack, you will receive:

- The SL Workbook – with answer options for Part 1 worksheets

- The HL Workbook – without answer options for Part 1 worksheets

- A one-page Jumbled Mentor Text Starter – the elements of the mentor text are jumbled up and students need to sequence them correctly.

- An answer key for Part 1 worksheets.

Each workbook contains 2 parts:

Part ONE contains worksheets to encourage students to do these activities:

- read the jumbled version of the mentor text and sequence the different elements correctly

- discuss and make decisions about the choice of text type to fulfil the requirements of the prompt

- read the actual mentor text

- answer comprehension questions to show understanding of the mentor text - now based on actual exam-type questions

- identify and label the different features of the mentor text

- explain different grammar aspects

- answer questions about synonyms, antonyms and the meaning of words

- determine how the main ideas in paragraphs are developed and extended.

Part TWO invites students to write that text type using a follow-on prompt and to show handwritten evidence (by writing everything into the workbook) that they have …

- conducted a mini-research project to provide them with the necessary background information for the content of the task

- extracted relevant vocabulary and created sentence frames to assist the writing process

- used a structured planning page to jot down notes for each element of the writing task

- followed a step-by-step guide to writing their first draft

- assessed their first drafts with an informative checklist that also contains relevant advice to help them improve their first draft.

The entire writing process, from understanding and using a mentor text, to researching, thinking about, planning, and redrafting is therefore completely visible and should provide students with enough practice to confidently write about each text type in their examinations.
