Lesson outcome

I can plan and write two analytical paragraphs which explore the theme of power in Hanan Al-Shaykh’s ‘One Thousand and One Nights’.

Show transcript
You can make connections between the frame story of 'One Thousand and One Nights' and the folktales themselves. The frame story and 'The Fisherman and the Jinni' both explore ideas about power. Arguably, the frame story and 'The Fisherman and the Jinni' show the power of stories over status or physical power. Single paragraph outlines are a way of planning an analytical paragraph. Analytical paragraphs should include a comment on the methods a writer has used to create their work.
