Ms. Dominico’s Year 12 VCE English Class

First of all, stop panicking! This is a totally achievable task.

You just need to spend some time looking at examples, and practising your writing.

Remember the keys to success: prompt + film + good writing = a good piece.

There are lots of models. I’ve posted 2 so far. (You can use the categories on the sidebar to search out the “exemplars” which are 2 student responses.)

Also,

page 128 Insight: Expository writing (Essay) with a model Written Explanation on “Whose Reality” (different text than we have studied, but same idea)

page 132-134 Insight: Imaginative Writing (fable) has a very good Written Explanation/Statement of Intention

Someone in Ms. Duffy’s class wrote a piece “Be careful what you wish for….” a fable that uses idea from P 133-34 Insight.

The student’s piece was based around a young person who “wished” for various people not to exist anymore “I wish you weren’t my friend,” “I wish I’d never met you,” etc., etc.

A magical entity comes and grants the wish and then these people come up to share the many positive memories they had shared, however our protagonist can’t remember them, although they sound great and they wish they did. Magical entity returns and restores memories (….fable has insightful moral at the end….)
