Ignite's Module A (English Advanced) workshop is on the textual conversation between Shakespeare's The Tempest and Margaret Atwood's Hag-Seed. This is notoriously the most content-heavy module; not only are students required to analyse TWO texts in relation to each other, but they must also draw upon the contextual influences of each text in order to explain the evolution of meaning from one text to the other as well as the distinct modes of representation utilised by each composer. 

So we've made the entire process easy for you. Over the course of one full day (9am-4.30pm on the 30th of January), Ignite's most experienced teacher, Jonny, will take you through an intensive crash-course that covers all Module A requirements in order to help you achieve your best mark. These include:

- Context, form and themes

- Close analysis of each text

- Comparative analysis between texts (i.e. the 'textual conversation')

- Essay writing, including structure and question adaptation

The workshop has a heavy focus on practical exercises, all of which are 100% relevant to the final drafts that students will learn for the HSC. Ignite also prides itself on its lessons in question adaptation, weaving exercises and examples throughout the day that relate to adapting to different types of questions and stimuli.

EVERYTHING we teach will be coming from the frame of: How would you actually use this in an essay? In what parts of the essay would this be relevant? What would this actually look like in a sentence?

Please do not miss out on this rare opportunity to drastically improve the quality of your writing!

Online Format

Workshops will be run online via zoom and using Google Docs to provide on-the-spot feedback and edits throughout the day.
