This 90-minute B1–B2 CEFR academic writing lesson teaches the ICE (Introduce-Cite-Explain) evidence framework paired with TSSC (like PEEL) paragraph structure, aligned with MOE, Cambridge, and AP English argumentative writing competencies. Targeting engineering majors and adaptable for B1-B2 secondary learners, it builds four core skills: identifying rhetorical signal phrases, logically ordering cited evidence, drafting cohesive thesis-linked body paragraphs with APA citations, and conducting rubric-based peer evaluation. Interactive sorting, guided modelling, and independent drafting scaffold critical analysis, source attribution, and cross-disciplinary academic literacy. Activities embed Cambridge/AP priorities: evidence warranting, formal citation conventions, claim-evidence alignment, and evaluative peer feedback to strengthen structured, evidence-driven argumentation for CEFR B1–B2 cohorts.

ICE Evidence Paragraph Writing Exercise

Supplementary ICE structured paragraph writing practice: aligned with this unit’s “meeting data centers’ energy demand” theme and 2026 CET4/6 exam priorities tailored to this engineering cohort. While source evidence extracts contain C1-level engineering and energy policy lexis, multiple scaffolding stages preceded this task to ensure comprehensible input: pre-unit video/discussion vocabulary building, trend synonym matching drills, skimming/scanning source text analysis, and guided glossing of evidence statements using high-frequency anchor words. The paragraph composition, citation and ICE rhetorical structure requirements remain calibrated to CEFR B1–B2 upper-intermediate academic writing standards.
