It includes detailed guidelines for each Area of Study, including strategies for analysis, practical approaches to developing written pieces, and sample responses.

There is an extensive section on the new Area of Study, Crafting texts, showing students how to develop ideas, draw on techniques used in mentor texts and create polished pieces of writing.
