Report Writing, Draft 2 (CW)
Learning Objectives:
1.​ 9Rs.01 Analyse how the structure of a text can be manipulated for effect in a range of
fiction and non-fiction texts, including poetic forms.
2.​ 9Rs.02 Evaluate the impact of a writer's choice of organisational and linking features on
the intended audience.
Reflection
Through exploring 9Rs.01, I’ve learned how the structure of a text can be manipulated to create
specific effects in both fiction and non-fiction. I now understand that elements like paragraphing,
sentence length, and shifts in perspective are not just stylistic choices but powerful tools that
shape meaning and influence reader engagement. For example, in fiction, a fragmented structure
can reflect a character’s confusion, while in non-fiction, a clear, logical flow enhances
comprehension.
With 9Rs.02, I’ve gained insight into how organisational and linking features affect the
audience’s reading experience. Transitions, headings, and cohesive devices help guide the reader
smoothly, while deliberate disruptions can create impact. I now appreciate how writers make
choices to engage, persuade, or evoke emotions, depending on their purpose and audience. This
has deepened my ability to critically evaluate texts and recognize the effectiveness of different
structural techniques in writing.

Account Writing (CW)
Learning Objectives:
1.​ 9Wg.01 Use punctuation rhetorically to support the intention of the writing, e.g. using
ellipses in a character's dialogue to show nervousness.
2.​ 9Wg.02 Demonstrate control of simple, compound, complex and compound-complex
sentences, manipulating and adapting them for intended purpose and effect.
3.​ 9Wg.03 Use grammatical features to shape and craft sentences that contribute to overall
development of the text, e.g. embedded phrases and clauses that support succinct
explanation; use of antithesis, repetition or balance in sentence structure.
4.​ 9Wg.04 Use the conventions of standard English across a range of registers.
5.​ 9Wg.05 Vary the degrees of formality and informality to enhance and emphasise meaning
in relation to the context, purpose and audience.
Reflection:
They encourage students to think about how their choices in punctuation, sentence structure, and
grammar can enhance their writing and communicate their ideas clearly. 9Wg.01 emphasizes the
importance of punctuation in shaping meaning. For example, using ellipses can show hesitation,
while exclamation marks can express excitement. This helps writers create tone and mood.
9Wg.02 is about mastering different sentence types (simple, compound, complex, and
compound-complex). By varying sentence structures, writers can control the flow and impact of
their writing. 9Wg.03 encourages the use of advanced grammar, like embedded phrases or
clauses, to make writing more concise and impactful. Techniques like repetition or balance can
also add emphasis and style. 9Wg.04 focuses on using standard English correctly across different
contexts, ensuring clarity and professionalism. 9Wg.05 highlights the importance of adjusting
formality to suit the audience and purpose. This helps writers connect with their readers and
convey their message more effectively.
