Does anyone have a list of all the possible text types the HSC exam could ask you to write in, as well as the conventions/features of each?

look, dude, potentially they could ask u for any text type, but they probably won't. id focus on things like feature articles and speeches. they'll NEVER ask u 2 write a poem. EVER. its 2 hard 2 make a discriminating marking criteria for. conventions vary between the text types obviously, so i wont write any up here, it would take 2 long. is there any on particular u wanted?

ok, this is from the Inside Story, my sister had a photocopy so I'm not sur eof the author:

Newspaper Report
Journal
Biography
Descriptive essay
Pamphlet
Exploratory Essay
Interview Transcript

Prose Fiction Preview

I'll try and scan these on the computer ASAP because it tells you how to set these out, the style/purpose etc. etc.

I'm not sure, it was photocopied from one of those helpful english books

edit: I'm trying to upload the scanned text types but there's something wrong with the process. It keeps coming up saying "Cannot Display Page" or something
