REMEMBER THE TEC STRUCTURE

TOPIC SENTENCE

This outlines what you are talking about and may restate the question in your own words, explaining your point of view of the topic.

ELABORATION AND EVIDENCE AND EVALUATION

Here you expand or elaborate on your topic. You might make several points about the same topic. With each point you make you should use direct quotations with references from your text/novel to support your discussion. Ensure you evaluate or synthesise your points, don’t just reword the quotation.

CONCLUDING/CLINCHING SENTENCE

Finally your paragraph must have a concluding sentence that sums up your discussion relating directly to your point of view on the question.
