Senior Intensive Writing

Preliminary note

In ALL courses students receive weekly homework that is marked in detail and returned promptly to enable them to understand their strengths as well as areas of improvement. This is a vital aspect of their progress.

It is important for students to expand their personal vocabulary in order to enrich the range of their expression both written and oral, therefore vocabulary extension and testing continues throughout the year in all classes.

Course Content

The course involves a detailed analysis of the language forms, features and structures of a wide range of texts in relation to many different stylistic approaches adopted by writers of all kinds and in diverse genres. Through the close study of the class materials students learn to understand the various methods adopted by writers to achieve their purposes enabling them to incorporate their strategies into their own writing in different forms to achieve curriculum requirements.

A wide range of mainly literary texts will be analysed in order to recognise the distinctive features of their genres and styles adopted by writers enabling students to discover the rich and versatile approaches to writing, particularly creative writing. Through this analysis students will adapt their own written responses to reflect imaginative ways of shaping their narratives and other types of creative responses.

Students learn how to compose sophisticated responses in all key writing genres including narratives, discursive, persuasive, argumentative, informative and other compositions.
