Teaching General Paper Online
GP lessons are built around essays and comprehension answers. Mark scripts on screen, annotating arguments, examples and language with a writing tablet or an iPad with a pencil, then talk your student through how to strengthen each paragraph. Lessons are usually 1.5 or 2 hours, and a trial class comes first.
Prepare each lesson on one theme, such as science and technology, the arts and humanities, or the environment, with articles to discuss and an essay question to plan together.
