Now that AI apps and programs are able to write convincing texts, it is imperative that we, as IB English B teachers, encourage students to make the entire writing process from brainstorming, researching, planning, drafting and re-drafting absolutely visible.
Therefore, I have written a series of workbooks wherein students handwrite the entire writing process using guided prompts, worksheets, task cards, answer templates and planning pages.
I am an experienced teacher and professional writer who has taught IB English B for over ten years.
Because I thoroughly enjoy the writing process, and because I want to be able to explain that process to my students, I can assure you I have written each mentor text without the aid of any artificial intelligence writing software, websites, apps, or programmes.
For students to make all stages of the writing process visible, I have also created a series of workbooks based around each of the mentor texts included here.
The workbooks have two 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
- identify and label the different features of the mentor text
- explain the function of every punctuation mark
- 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.
Each Student Workbook Pack contains:
- SL Version – with answer options for Part 1 worksheets
- HL Version – without answer options for Part 1 worksheets
- 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.
More packs and text types will be added soon.
