Help students move beyond formulaic Module C writing with this comprehensive annotated exemplar of a sophisticated hybrid imaginative-discursive piece.
There Will Be Time blends imaginative scene-making with discursive reflection, modelling how students can craft writing that is personal without being narrow, philosophical without becoming detached, and technically rich without feeling artificial.
This Writing with Finesse resource includes a polished exemplar and detailed sentence-by-sentence annotations that explicitly unpack how the writing is crafted. Each annotation identifies a pivotal figurative, rhetorical, narrative or discursive device and explains how that choice shapes meaning, develops voice and deepens the central ideas of the piece. Students are guided to see how metaphor, personification, allusion, rhetorical questioning, motif, structural return, tonal shifts and epiphanic movement work together to create a cohesive and compelling hybrid response.
Importantly, this resource also supports one of the most challenging aspects of Module C: the reflection statement. The annotations provide students with the language and conceptual precision needed to explain their own craft choices, helping them move from vague statements such as “I used imagery to engage the reader” to sophisticated reflections about how language, form and structure shape ideas, attitudes, values and perspectives.
This resource is ideal for teachers who want to explicitly model high-quality hybrid writing and give students a clear pathway from reading like a writer to writing with control, confidence and finesse.
Perfect for:
Module C: The Craft of Writing
Hybrid imaginative-discursive writing
Reflection statement preparation
Close study of figurative, rhetorical and narrative devices
High-impact writing lessons and modelling activities
Students aiming to elevate voice, structure and conceptual depth
