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).
