Memo Students: what you …

July 1, 2015

Dear Students,thinking boy

There are many small tasks that you can do every day, that will keep you in tune with writing and reading.
It doesn’t take much, but you must ensure that you do not get out of the habit of reading and writing.

Here’s a few suggestions: 

  • Read Two of Us, Good Weekend, The Age, Saturday-Sunday: summarise the story. How do people react to difficult circumstances? What is special about these people. See examples.
  • For example, read Benjamin Law’s reflective pieces: what is the moral to this story
  • Learn a few tone words/adjectives every day; put them into a sentence. These are at the back of each workbook. See example, “tone test”.
  • Do an exercise in the Red, Green or Orange Workbooks. Explain the author’s main point; their supporting reasons; what techniques stand out and what is their purpose. For the Red Workbook, click here.  For the Green Workbook, click here. For the Orange Workbook, click here.
  • Aim to read one or two extra books, even if you watch the film first (if there is one) to get you going.
