Common questions

What do Year 12 students learn about narrative writing?

Story writing: characters, settings, plot and language. At Year 12, our resources focus on: creating a distinctive and consistent narrative voice; choosing a structure, perspective and tense to serve an idea; showing character and feeling through concrete detail rather than statement; responding to a stimulus with a controlled, purposeful piece.

Where should we start?

Read the study guide first, then start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet. Finish with the topic test.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Spend five minutes planning before writing.
  2. Use the success criteria as a checklist when editing.
  3. Compare the model opening with your child's opening — what makes each one work?
