This Achievement Standard is based on The New Zealand Curriculum.

To meet the requirements of this standard in the externally assessed exam, students will be required to write a structured essay in response to a specified topic. The activities in Level 3 Response to Written Texts Learning Workbook have been designed to guide students as they learn to analyse and interpret written texts.

A variety of different text types may be studied. This workbook provides students with a range of strategies to use, whether they are responding to prose, drama or poetry – or to a combination of text types.

This Workbook features:

·  brief notes and clear explanations

·  a selection of exemplars from a range of published work

·  relevant exercises to help students develop their ability to respond critically to written texts

·  an index giving easy access to important terms and definitions.

This workbook is ideal for use in the classroom or for homework, home study and revision.

The concise theory notes and write-on exercises keep student work together in a compact format, providing a useful end-of-topic revision tool.
