Presentation transcript:

Writing a body paragraph on ‘Justice’ To be able to use a prompt to guide your discussion of the big ideas relating to ‘Justice’.

Practice prompt: ‘Without justice a society cannot function properly.’

Break it down and brainstorm ideas from your texts Underline key words Consider the prompt from a range of perspectives Brainstorm how specific ideas from ‘TKMB’ and your secondary text(s) could inform your discussion of the prompt.

‘Without justice a society cannot function properly.’ What are some general ideas that spark from this PROMPT? What does it mean for a society to not function properly? What would this look like? What things prevent justice from occurring? What happens in a society that does not have a justice system, or where other injustices such as discrimination occur?

BIG IDEAS that come from this initial brainstorm These could then be used as our topic sentences for each body paragraph. Eg1. A society cannot function properly when the legal system governing it is corrupt. Eg2. Chaos can result from justice not being served. Use your texts to help you come up with these. Think about what the examples from your texts show you about the PROMPT.

Your body paragraphs must: Be centred around a BIG IDEA that relates to the prompt. Contain some general discussion about Justice. Refer to some examples from a text or texts. Refer to a quote(s) from a text.

Your body paragraph could: Focus on a discussion of how one text demonstrates something about the prompt and the general nature of justice. Compare texts (TKMB and your secondary text) and how they demonstrate something similar or different about a BIG IDEA that you’ve drawn from the prompt.

TEEL still applies here! Start with a topic sentence which should be centred around the BIG IDEA you’ve drawn from the PROMPT. An example might be: A society cannot function properly when the legal system governing it is corrupt. In this example you could then go on to discuss how in ‘TKMB’ because many members of the society and therefore the jury were racially prejudiced Tom Robinson could not get a fair trial. This prevented justice from being achieved as he was found guilty when he was in fact innocent. How does this decision in the court later lead to a further injustice for Tom?

Your turn: Come up with an example from your secondary text that illustrates this BIG IDEA and see if you can compare it with what happens in ‘TKMB”. Start your body paragraph with the topic sentence from the last slide: A society cannot function properly when the legal system governing it is corrupt. If you don’t have an appropriate example from your secondary text just practise writing a paragraph about how ‘TKMB’ illustrates the topic sentence above. Discuss Tom Robinson but also Atticus in this paragraph.
