Description
Mastering the Craft of Writing Student Book (2nd edition) aims to improve studentsâ knowledge of writing as a craft in order to develop their skills as writers of fiction and nonfiction pieces. It has been designed to fulfil the requirements of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Module C: The Craft of Writing.
This student book asks students to consider the idea of writing as a craft and the reasons why it is important to think about the skill set that writers need to expand in order to improve the quality of their writing. From here, students explore how writers use different language devices, textual features, form, and style to influence the way readers respond to their writing.
And, they are given plenty of opportunity to practice applying this knowledge in their own writing by crafting their own short pieces and answering a variety of practice exam-style questions!
This book covers a selection of 20 prescribed texts from the Year 12 Module C course. This selection of texts has been divided into the Standard and Advanced courses to make it easy for you to find the texts you need to focus on. The activities for each text have been designed to demonstrate how these texts can be used as both models for students to emulate in their writing, and stimulus for their writing.
