Ms. Dominico’s Year 12 VCE English Class

Step 1: analyse the prompt – write out what your understanding of the prompt (just like you’ve always done for essay topics)

Step 2: how the text relates to your ideas about the prompt (examples in the text) (essay-like, you’ve done this before)

Step 3: Step 1 and 2 and say how they show the idea of reality—as it differs between people, “Whose reality?” (multiple realities, emotional realities, cultural realities)

Step 4: can now decide what you think you would like to write. What could you write that would encompass the ideas of Step 1-3?

Step 5: written explanation—step 1-4: explain your ideas from each step in a paragraph = written explanation

Step 6: the piece that shows the ideas of Step 1-4.

Step 7: beef up statement of intention – in case you missed anything; check your work, etc.
