Education experts and teacher trainers Malcolm Reed and Sasha Matthewman scrutinise a lesson on exam techniques at Haydon School, west London taught by English teacher Clint Michael Reneau. Focusing on a question on Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice & Men’, Clint presents the essay writing techniques that can help raise an E grade answer to a C grade answer and from a C to an A*, concentrating on the ‘point, quote, comment’ writing structure. Malcolm and Sasha examine his techniques and suggest alternative strategies. Clint’s reactions to their comments can be found on this programme’s web-page. A programme showing the whole of his lesson, Uncut Classrooms - English, is also available to view on the Teachers TV website.
