Develop a TEAC framework
Each team will develop a detailed essay/paragraph plans using 4 x TEAC paragraphs frameworks. Use past exam questions or develop your own hybrid questions based upon past questions. You should also use the markschemes to guide you.

Further clarification:
So you will end up with having researched 4 aspects of your topic, and for each of those aspects you have created a TEAC paragraph/essay structure which starts with a clearly opinionated and analytical, thematic (if possible) topic sentence. This will be followed by high quality E & A (or A & E). Finish off with a good conclusion. Base it on past questions or make up your own.
