Description

Writing and Responding: A Guide for Senior English Students is a user friendly guide which presents a wide range of texts and activities aimed at helping students in years 10-12 improve their writing skills.

This text has been devised and designed for students in all Australian states by taking into account the individual curriculum
materials in each state at well as the future National Curriculum. The opening chapter offers advice on general writing activities
and a blueprint for writing success – a seven step plan – which can be used for writing in all genres.

Texts used as examples have been chosen because of their variety, quality, literary merit and because they are studied widely
in schools in many states. In addition, each chapter culminates in one or more model essays developed from the plan through
to the final product. These essays are annotated to help students understand the process of relevant and effective writing and
assist them to work towards this outcome.
