Studied written texts · Part 4 of 4
6 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 12 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 3 pages of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.

Explain what a drama script gives you that a novel does not, and explain how to tell the writer's choices apart from a production's.
Using the extract from The Long Paddock, explain how a scene in which nobody says what they mean can be analysed with precision rather than guessed at.
Explain what persona is in a non-fiction text and how a writer builds one, and explain why every technique in non-fiction is doing two jobs.
Using the Waimai feature page, discuss what analysing a print media text requires that analysing a novel does not.
