Creative Essay Writing
Edworks' study guide, 'Reach for the Sky – Discovering the Power of Working Smart!' offers students an in depth appreciation of the skills required to develop their creative writing skills. This has proven a valuable resource to students to VCE level. A variety of other essay styles and types are also developed including Issue-based (Argumentative and Persuasive), Analytical (Text Analysis and Language Analysis) and Informative and Instructional.

Issue–Based Essay Writing
The more formalised structure of issue based essays is introduced at Grade 5. Students are taught to analyse issues from a range of key perspectives. This encourages critical and analytical thinking and prepares the student for issue-based writing at secondary level. Having prioritised arguments, students learn to develop well-defined plans. Edworks' study guide, 'Reach for the Sky' plays an important role in offering students a series of model essays as helpful guidelines for student review.

Get started by brainstorming. Brainstorming about your personality traits and defining your strengths is a good place to begin. After you've gathered your notes, create an outline to organize your essay and decide where you want examples to appear. Just get your ideas flowing and your thoughts down on paper. You'll fix mistakes and improve the writing in later drafts. Then develop 3 essay parts, introduction, body and conclusion. Give your essay focus by figuring out how the question relates to your personal qualities and then taking a specific angle. Make sure everything you write supports that viewpoint. Consider their feedback and make changes, but keep your voice. Read your essay over carefully to check for typos and spelling and grammar errors. It's best to ask someone who hasn't seen it yet to take a look as well.
