Hey, I was reading the section on your website about writing in whichever form you feel comfortable with for creative writing. Is it better to choose a different style if you can to have variation and catch the markers attention? Or is it risky to write in a style that isn't used as much. Do certain styles typically receive better marks overall?
Hey! Really, the style of text itself won't make a difference, it is purely how well you can write that text. You won't gain any points by picking something a little different! It's only risky in the sense that usually, people find narratives to be the easiest text type to produce
Basically, you should pick whatever text type you are most comfortable writing! If you can write a feature article better than a narrative, do that!
As an aside, I'd wager that average marks for feature articles and other non-narrative text types WOULD be higher than narratives. However, if this is true, it would only be because the students who feel confident enough to try something besides a narrative are going to do better on average anyway. It's an effect, not a cause, for better results - If that makes sense, aha
