The Year 12 Standard English Module C – The Craft of Writing is a key component in the English literature. It gives students the chance to express their creativity while also incorporating texts into their writing. It provides students with a way to emphasise the development of their writing skills as they have the chance to practice imaginative writing, persuasive writing, and a new writing skill – discursive writing. A discursive writing piece I find to be the most interesting as it gives students a way to present multiple perspectives of a topic in their writing. This is best supported with literature and real-life examples. Some great discursive topics include the impact of social media on the younger generations, the advantages and disadvantages of online schooling, and many more. Furthermore, discursive writing gives students the chance to demonstrate their ability to think critically and engage with complex issues.
