Y11 English: Mastering Essay Writing for HSC English
Event Information
Description
Struggle with writing sophisticated essays for English?
In this HSC Mastery Holiday Workshop, we're going to help you master Essay Writing for the new HSC English Syllabus!
In this 3 workshop during the school holidays on Wednesday 17th April from 1-4pm we're going to help you:
- Write a Band 6 HSC English Essay for Year 11 and 12
- Craft a compelling thesis statement
- Identify key ideas to explore in your essay
- Write a clear, succinct introduction
- Construct relevant, insightful analysis of your texts
- Craft topic and linking sentences
- Round out your essay with a clear conclusion
Why is it important to master this now?
With the new HSC syllabus changing assessment types, it means memorising essays for assessments will no longer work.
Instead, students need to be building up their writing skills and this takes time! So the best time to work on this is in Year 11 before things count!
What’s included?
- 3-hour workshop run by an experienced HSC English teacher!
- Small personalised class - so you're not one of 100 students in a big lecture room. We cap the session at 15 students maximum :)
- A resource booklet that guides you through how to craft Band 6 essays
Investment: $120 for 3 hours of support
Date: Wednesday 17th April
Time: 1-4pm
