Steal Paragraphs A scaffold to support students with HSC style responses
Steal is an Acronym, That Stands For Statement (what point are you trying to make in this paragraph- the topic sentence) Technique (Identify the technique you will be analysing from your example) Example (the specific quotes/dramatic device/dialogue/context you will be analysing) Analyse (this is the key function and explores your knowledge of the text, you are analysing the example and technique through the topic sentence). T.E.A- can be repeated where necessary to strengthen the response. Link- this is the specific link back to the question, and thesis. Many schools use different acronyms but they all have a similar function. Here is just one example

(Analyse clear that human emotions are complex. On one end of the spectrum they are cold and unfeeling but on the other, they are warm and loving. The male is obviously not in love, but there are complex emotions at work for he still wept for the person and pitied her; far more warm an emotion than not.
