About

Voice, perspectives, genre, context, representations, attitudes, ideologies etc.
We will go through how to incorporate this into your essay to put your essay above the rest.... (BECAUSE TEXT are shaped by the authors perspectives and beliefs from their historical background = WRITING)....Understanding this is important for thought provoking essay that makes you standout.

My Qualification:

I have been doing ATAR English for 3 years. This is my 4th year. I have even written an essay in my exam that got put in the hall of fame at my school.

What is ATAR English? (Not that we will be doing this)

ATAR English Exam is all free response. (No MCQs) The exam is 3 hours split into three sections and no breaks!!! In this 3 hours we have:
  • Comprehension: Read 2 text answer and answer 2 fixed questions. Our response have to be 1-2 paragraphs (Basically a mini essay per question)
  • Responding: Pick a question, answer the question through an essay abt a text we have studied (So anaytical essay) to discuss voice, perspective, ideology etc ....you get the point. Also we have to remember our quotes so we study multiple to pick the right one for the question as we don't know them. TEXT can be books, films, short story, documentry etc...
  • Composing: Pick a prompt then write a creative peace of writing. So we can pick imaginative, interpretive or persuasive. If you don't know what that means it means short story, blogs, speeches, persuasive letters, basically anything....that includes your argumentative essay. (But it has to answer the prompt and question)

This is all done in 3 hours. We write all that plus plan our answers in that time frame to top notch quality or else...its a umm fail. You can finish the exam but if it has no quality or address controversial topics and issues we fail.

Hi ya, you can call me Emmy or Emma whatever floats your boat. I'm an Aussie high-school student in her final years (or tears, depending on the day), living the cycle of study, snack, sleep, repeat. My subjects? ATAR English, Physics, Spec, Methods, and Chem—plenty to keep me busy! When I’m not studying, I enjoy reading essays and helping out with anything that comes my way. Outside of school, I enjoy playing Tennis, watching Netflix, and procrastinating. HAHA
