Year 12 ATAR English Holiday Composition Task

Writing your own blog! (COMPOSING)

Use all you have learnt about blogs to write your own. You must consider the stylistic techniques and layout. It is highly recommended that you plan your response. The composing section is looking for your ability to write with purpose – it is pretty hard to demonstrate this in a first draft. Think about what you are trying achieve.

• Respond to the prompt by writing a blog post.
• Adopt one of the perspectives provided and write from that perspective / context.
