24 analytical writing prompt cards for Grades 9-12, IB DP + CCSS aligned. Close textual and media analysis with an “Analyse” scaffold hint on every card.

These prompts ask students to analyse how power operates in language, how gender is represented in media, how satire critiques its targets, how visual texts construct meaning, and how a text positions its reader. Every card includes an “Analyse” scaffold hint naming the specific analytical dimensions to consider — and they connect directly to IB DP Language & Literature Individual Oral, Paper 1, and Paper 2 tasks.

Cards are print-and-cut ready, with 4 cards per A4 page. Use them for textual analysis, media literacy, and critical thinking units. Aligned to IB DP Language & Literature and CCSS analytical writing standards for Grades 9-12.
