The Context of the exam …
Well, it’s all getting a bit serious now, isn’t it?
Trial exams starting to become more frequent – and to be taken more seriously – perhaps! While many will feel pretty comfortable with the format and content of both the analysis of persuasive language and the text exposition, most are still casting around for some ieads about what the Context might require. So, without more ado – follow this link to see three ideas that use the core text “The Secret River”, together with the prompt from the VCAA sample exam to construct responses in a range of styles and formats. Secrivcontsamp The idea here is not to suggest that these are “the” way to go … only that they aim to allow you to identify some broad strategies that you might be able to adapt for your own EXAM writing. Good luck!
