TEXT STUDY - Animal Farm

No doubt all of you have written a Text Response Essay. In Year 10 you would have written a Text Response essay on 'Of Mice and Men,' and 'Romeo and Juliet.'

In Year 12 the Text Response Essay is a SAC and you will be expected to complete two essays. The first in Semester One and the second in Semester Two. This Assessment Tasks contributes 20 marks - thus a total of 40 marks over the entire year.

In 2011 we will work on developing our understanding of the necessary structure, the criteria and how you can best achieve the grades you desire.

Our first Text Response Essay will be on George Orwell's 'Animal Farm.' The following ppt attachment explains the structure you should follow. It also includes a sample response to the text 'Montana 1948.' The information was provided by English staff from a local school at the end of last year. Remember we will not be writing a Text Response Essay on 'Monatan 1948' - this is a sample only, and will hopefully help you write your own essay on 'Animal Farm.'
