Students lose Assessment Objective 3 marks from weak phrasing, not lack of knowledge. This 5-resource Writing Bank builds the academic language needed to ace essays.

Yes, IB Economics students frequently lose Assessment Objective 3 marks not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack the academic language to express evaluation, qualification, and synthesis under timed exam conditions. This five-resource Writing Bank closes that gap systematically - from the moment a student reads the command term to the moment they write their conclusion -providing scaffolded language at every stage of the IB Economics essay process.

What’s Included
• Resource 1 — Command Terms Guide: AO1–AO3 breakdown of all eight IB Economics command terms with examiner expectations and student-facing guidance.
• Resource 2 — Sentence Starters: 40+ categorised sentence openers across AO1 (definition), AO2 (explanation + Kaimura application), and AO3 (evaluation, counter-argument, conclusion).
• Resource 3 — Evaluation Phrases: 40+ mid-paragraph qualifiers: Qualification Phrases, Degree Language, Stakeholder Differentiation, Policy Evaluation Connectors, Synthesis Phrases, Examiner Signal Phrases.
• Resource 4 — Paragraph Frames: Five fully scaffolded frames (PEEL, DEED, Diagram Integration, Two-Sided Argument, Kaimura Application) with worked examples.
• Resource 5 — Essay Templates: Sentence-count-calibrated structural guides for Paper 1 Part B (8 marks) and Paper 2 Section C (15 marks), with annotated worked examples.

Pedagogical Value
The bundle follows a deliberate active learning sequence: students first orient themselves using the Command Terms Guide (metacognitive awareness), acquire targeted language through the Sentence Starters and Evaluation Phrases banks (skill acquisition), practise applying structure via the Paragraph Frames (guided production), and finally attempt full essay composition using the Essay Templates (mastery). The Kaimura fictional economy, structurally modelled on Mauritius, grounds every resource in a consistent real-world context students can apply across all Paper 1 and Paper 2 responses
