Students will develop critical thinking skills and learn how to respond to different aspects of literacy, poetry, prose, and drama. From developing an informed personal response to responding to characters and narrative viewpoints, this coursebook helps students recognise and appreciate how writers shape meaning. Students work independently with engaging step-by-step activities, annotated sample answers and guidance tips throughout each unit. Additional support on how to use this coursebook alongside set texts is included, besides activities you can use across different texts, to help you plan your lessons. Suggested answers to the questions in the coursebook are accessible via Cambridge GO.
