About Aliza

I am a 17-year-old student in year 12, I have previously completed a VET course of business as well as had some experience in the business area as a receptionist, real estate employee, etc. Throughout my years of school, I have excelled in many areas such as English, math, studies of religion, and business. In many of these subjects, I have been head of course multiple times. I strive to help others and find myself to be great with children.

About the lesson

Warm-Up (5–10 mins)

Purpose: Activate thinking + identify weaknesses.

Examples:
• “Explain what a thesis is.”
• “Write a quick intro to this question in 5 minutes.”
• Fix grammar errors in a short paragraph.
• Analyze a short quote.

This shows me what they actually know.

2. Explicit Teaching (10–15 mins)

This is where YOU teach a skill.

Don’t just say “write better intros.” Break it down.

For example:

If teaching essay structure:
• What is a thesis?
• What makes it sophisticated?
• How to embed keywords from the question.
• Example of a Band 6 intro.
• Why it’s Band 6.

Model it.

I want them thinking:

“Ohhh, that’s how markers think.”

Guided Practice (15–20 mins)

Now they try — but with your help.

Example:
• You create a scaffold:
• Sentence 1: Thesis
• Sentence 2: Contextualize text
• Sentence 3: Signpost arguments

You correct in real time.
Rewrite weak sentences together.

This is where improvement actually happens.

4. Independent Practice (10–15 mins)

Now they do it alone.

You:
• Time them.
• Let them write a paragraph.
• Mark it like a real teacher.

Be specific:
• “This is descriptive.”
• “You’re not analyzing the technique.”
• “You need conceptual language.”

5. Feedback + Homework (5 mins)

Give:
• 2 strengths
• 2 areas to improve
• 1 specific task for next week

Example:

Rewrite this paragraph using conceptual thesis language.
