This is the second in a series of English workbooks for students in the junior and middle years of secondary school. The units are designed so that there is a logical and sequential development of skills and knowledge throughout this workbook, as well as throughout the workbook series. Text extracts within units are from popular fiction for teenagers, with an emphasis on modern Australian texts and texts that address the Cross-Curriculum Priorities. Activities and assessment tasks cater for differentiation in the English classroom. [preface].
