ASSIGNMENT (40 marks)
Open a new Word document. Label it E201U4L1surname
In this document, write the good copy of your personal response to text as outlined below.
Submit this assignment using the Dropbox for U4L1 Good Friends PR.

Your response should be between 600 and 1200 words.
Historically, students who write 600 words tend to score around 50%. Those who write closer to the upper range of 1200 words tend to reach the Standard of Excellence, which is 80% or higher. View 1200 words as a cap, however, and not as a target. Writing MORE than 1200 words does not necessarily improve your mark. It may, in fact, do the opposite. Choose your words judiciously. 

Study the text, "My Very Dear Good Friends".

Reflect upon the ideas and impressions suggested by the text and write a personal response to the text.

What ideas and impressions does the text suggest to you about the individual in the face of threatening forces?

Consider the context, and develop your response by referring to the text.

In your writing you should

    • select a prose form that is appropriate to the ideas you wish to express and that will enable you to effectively communicate to the reader 
    • discuss ideas and impressions that are meaningful to you
    • respond from a personal, critical and/or creative perspective
    • consider how you can create a strong unifying effect
