The English Works Pack ($95): Includes:

  • a copy of each of the five workbooks (Techniques of Persuasion, The Language of Persuasion: become an expert; Arguments and Persuasive Language an essay-writing guide; Better Essays and Persuasive Techniques and Clear Writing: language and grammar).

“I began using The Language of Persuasion (Become an Expert) in Year 10. It immediately improved my vocabulary and my ability to produce quality analytical pieces – thus providing me with a strong foundation to transition seamlessly into Year 12 English. The books introduced me to metalanguage and analysis techniques in a very coherent and accessible format.  I would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny’s resources for students aiming for an A+ grade in Year 12.” Brendan L.
