Key learning points

- The BORDER acronym is a useful tool to respond fully and accurately to bullet point writing prompts.
- You can apply BORDER to every paragraph in your writing.
Keywords
BORDER - acronym used to respond fully and accurately to bullet point writing prompts
Common misconception
I can only use BORDER for short pieces of writing.
BORDER is also a very useful strategy for extended pieces of writing. Simply apply it to each paragraph separately. This will help you respond clearly and completely to each bullet point.
Teacher tip
Learning Cycle 2 includes a Higher-only task. The BORDER strategy, used to support students in tackling the 150-word task in this cycle, can also be applied to the 90-word task, which is a Foundation/Higher task. In mixed groups, teachers can assign one of the bullet points to Foundation students.
