I’m not sure if this is exactly what you’re asking for but for your first draft I recommend writing 5 paragraphs about your topic. I am in set 1 English and my teacher told me to write the introduction first; what is the topic about? Who is it by? Give a very brief description of what the piece is about.
Always when starting a new paragraph use the words firstly, secondly, thirdly and finally.
For the second paragraph write about structure e.g if it’s poetry write about how many stanzas. I’m not sure what you are writing about but include what the writing sounds like when read aloud; does reading aloud give emphasis on certain words of phrases? Describe how the way it’s written affects the readers experience.
Next, write about mood and atmosphere. Talk about the words and mood of the story; how do adjectives etc add to the story? Does the mood change throughout? Are the words used pleasant or solemn? This will get you lots of marks, especially if you describe how they effect you.
Paragraph 4 would be how the writing effects you. If you’ve already written that in p3 then don’t worry. Either way, mention personal experiences and feelings and link them to the writing.
Paragraph 5 would be your conclusion. This is only a short paragraph including a brief summary and how you feel about the writing; e.g “the overall mood of ..... is ...... and has the desired effect on the reader”.
For editing just write the 1st draft and then I’d wait a day or 2 and then go back and change some words for more professional or better words/phrases. You’ll find this quite easy.
For revising I’d say just read other people’s essays on the topic. Reading other people’s notes and thoughts on the subject will help get you marks as you’ll have many perspectives and ideas.
Brainstorming is pretty much just writing out sentences/words from what you’ve already written and what other people have said.
Hope this helps in some way :)
