About this printable

This printable is an organised essay planning template that prompts students to record the essay question, plan key elements (topic, ideas, texts, purpose, audience), write a thesis, and draft an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It includes a language/quality checklist and columns of useful transition words. Use it to scaffold multi-paragraph academic writing and to teach structure, evidence use, and sentence-level cohesion.
