Reading Texts and Text Response Skills

$60.00

Years 9 to 11

To improve your text response skills you need to explore a range of texts; hone in on their salient story-telling features; write a “checklist” of key ideas; analyse the author’s views and values, the world of the text and conventional and unconventional characters.  Embed references to story-telling features in your paragraph and make sure the examples link to the topic.  Explore ironies, contradictions, paradoxes and ambiguities within the text.
