The guide

Letters, articles, speeches, reviews, reports and guides: the forms, the marks, and the moves. This site is growing: the framework is here, and the form guides arrive as the unit is taught.

Planned contents

  • A guide per form: conventions, register, structure, sentence craft
  • What AO4 and AO5 actually reward, in plain language
  • Model openings and endings for every form
  • A bank of practice tasks in the style of the paper

Each guide follows the family method: what the text or form is doing, the methods that matter, and analysis that always moves from device to effect.
