More DescriptionSenior English Courses across Australia and in other parts of the world are increasingly focused on how meaning is achieved in texts, that is, the point of view presented by various creators of texts and the techniques they use to convey the ideas expressed. Book 1 introduces students to key concepts of Purpose, Context and Tone that shape all texts. Through a variety of text types, students explore how meaning is determined and how it reflects prevailing attitudes and values. Practice questions and sample answers help students to discuss the concepts as part of their textual analysis. In addition, the student writing samples help students to construct their own original writing for different text types in a hand-in or examination assessment.
