Full teaching script
- Today: Analysing a writer's method. Our goal: Comment on effect, not just feature-spotting.
- Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
- Naming a metaphor scores nothing on its own. Say what it makes the reader feel or understand: 'the city was a furnace' presses heat, danger and being trapped together, so the reader shares the character's panic. Point, evidence, explanation — every time.
- Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
- Your turn: Take one sentence from any book and write a PEE paragraph on it.
- Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
