  1. Growing up Asian in Australia

  2. Where next? • Drop one type • Think about 2 remaining • Specialise • 50% and exam application

  3. SAC DATE

  4. Refine your work • In either of expository, imaginative or persuasive forms. • You MUST be writing expertly in one of these ways. • Context • Text • Self • Other world • Audience • Purpose • Language

  5. Expository • Expository can be boring. • What strategies can you develop to ensure it is a vigorous, engaging piece of writing?

  6. Imaginative • Hard if you’re not sure. • Great imaginative writing includes detail on all levels of plot, characterisation, narration, originality of ideas, human appeal. • Make sure you have a great idea and have honed your imaginative writing skills. • An under-developed story in a basic language can be just too unengaging.

  7. Persuasive • Biggest mistakes: • SHOUTING at your reader (this usually indicates that you have not thought out what to say carefully enough, and have had to resort to this tactic) • Rhetorical questions – again, more than a couple of these indicates that you have no answers or arguments, just questions • Repetition – over use of this persuasive language technique indicates that you can’t think of anything else to say….. Indicative of… • Variety, convincing arguments=reasons, not just conversational voice with PLT thrown in. Includes facts, appeals, expert witness…

  8. Biggest mistake of all? • Half-baked ideas • Always obvious if the thinking hasn’t been done • Brainstorm and uber-develop • Edit • Consult

  9. Other tips • Find one or two stories which you identify with – grow your ideas from there • PLANNINGOMGTHISISSOOOOIMPORTANT • Not just planning but actually doing it – You need to practise until it is perfect. • I will look at as many pieces as many times as you want me to. • Refining • 50% • Also handwriting, margins, one side, no scribbles, avoid chopping too much if possible • Don’t expect to do well if you don’t put the time in  • Do expect to do well if you do put the time in. 

  10. The Statement • Has to be brilliant – with LOTS of insights about the language choices you have made. 6-10 examples discussed please. • Metalanguage • Beautifully written • Insightful and explanatory, especially of the context and how you formulated (came up with) your ideas and developed them into what they are in the written piece.

  11. Next Task: • Today, (and please finish this for homework) please write a plan about what you intend to do. Include: • What your idea is • Your chosen form, audience, purpose, ideas about the language you will use. Include some specific examples of the sort of language effects you would like to employ, if possible. • How you will connect with the text, the ‘real’ world, your self, in the text. • DUE DATE: This Friday – I need to see one from every one please. • Turn and talk
