Why become an expert?
For those who wish to make the leap from primary to secondary school, a good start is the Techniques of Persuasion which complements the workbook, Writing Better Essays.
Learning persuasive and reasoning techniques, gives you the tools to analyse more insightfully and accurately an author’s views and values.
In turn, these skills will help you write better, sounder and more sophisticated and interesting essays.
In particular, you will become aware of how to use and present your evidence and how to write analyse opposing views and write better rebuttals.
Down the track
These skills not only help with advanced comprehension, but they also sharpen your close-passage analysis skills that are useful for “commentary essay-writing” in English Language (Units 3-4) and the passage analysis exam in English Literature (Units 3-4).
“I started using Jenny’s workbooks in her workshops in Year 7, and they helped to sharpen my persuasive skills, so that my persuasive essays also improved phenomenally as have my marks for English. I’ve worked through a lot of the exercises online and have just gained so much more confidence with writing.” Kim Ly. (Now in Year 10)
