Task: You will participate in an assessment that requires you to write an analytical essay based on
the study of two Australian short stories that you have studied over the last 5 weeks.

 You will be given two questions, choose one question only and respond in an essay
structure, using two short stories you have studied. You will need to memorise your
content and quotes.
 Your classroom teacher will help you prepare and practice your essay writing by creating
mock questions that focus on the syllabus concepts listed below.
Key concepts from the syllabus to focus on & revise are:

 Voice
 Perspective
 Marginalisation
 Representation
 Context (of production and reception)
 Language features
Your two questions will assess your understanding of the above concepts, even if the question does
NOT state it explicitly it is implied, so critically analyse and respond to the question having a
thorough knowledge and understanding of the above concepts.
