Rt/L2.4 Read an argument and identify the points of view

A series of Level 2 reading (distinguishing between fact & opinion), proof reading and listening tasks.

Living in Poverty is a thought provoking article from the Nursing Times. It is used in this literacy initial assessment for possible Access to Healthcare students. The accompanying questions are designed to check whether students are working at level 2 standards and can follow an argument, summarise information, recognise bias, distinguish between fact and opinion, and write using supporting evidence.

Fabulous series of resources that help students trace an argument in an emotive text and analyse how an argument is developed by a writer. An emotive text, series of questions, and a bubble chart to break down the text and analyse how each paragraph develops. Plus extension ideas.
