Is the TIDE coming in or are you TOO busy to conclude your work? Too many ‘helpful’ acronyms can be unhelpful! So we break it down and look at a clear, concise structure which will transform your essays.Lesson 3Do wise words matter?Research and vocabulary. How can you ensure that your essays showcase the best of you? We will supercharge your research skills in this lesson, and also focus on top tips for improving and extending your vocabulary.Lesson 4Can you write it now?The class will be split into three sections. Firstly, we will speed read an academic essay together to remind us of the importance of clarity, interesting vocabulary, concision and hooks. Then we will spend 5 minutes re-capping the key points of the Boot Camp. Finally, students will be given 30 minutes in which they should put all their knowledge together and write an essay in timed conditions.
