Directed Writing: Form, Audience And Purpose
Overzicht
Directed writing is the first task on Paper 2, and it is worth a full 40 marks. You are given two short texts on one topic and asked to write in a named form, an article, a letter, a speech, a report or a review, for a particular reader and purpose. The skill is double: you must read the two texts well enough to weigh their ideas, and you must write the named form well enough to sound like the real thing. Get either half wrong and the marks slip away.
This lesson shows you exactly how the marks split (15 for what you do with the reading, 25 for the quality of your writing), what each named form actually demands, and how to evaluate ideas rather than just repeat them. You will see flat openings rewritten into convincing ones, a fully annotated model paragraph, and a complete worked task with a model response. Master this and you have secured the single biggest task on the paper.
Doelstellingen
- Demonstrate an understanding of audience, purpose and form in a directed writing task.
- Respond to one or more texts in a specified form such as a letter, speech, article or report.
- Develop and extend ideas from the source rather than lifting them, evaluating and structuring them for the task.
