Give your pupils the tools they need to craft clear, confident introductions for balanced arguments. This resource pack breaks down the introduction into manageable steps, helping pupils understand how to introduce a topic, acknowledge opposing viewpoints and signpost the purpose of their writing.

The teaching PowerPoint provides clear examples and sentence models while the differentiated activity sheet supports all learners — from those who benefit from structured scaffolding to those ready to explain why their introduction is effective. A word mat is also included to support vocabulary choice without limiting independence.
