OPINIONS WANTED: Context Pieces

[noneofyourbusiness]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted your opinions on context pieces. What type of piece do you prefer? Why? Tips and tricks for writing a specific type of context (e.g. expository, creative, persuasive) anything you want.
Personally I am a big fan of persuasive, but I find it hard to begin writing one. Also, not many other students choose to write a persuasive so it doesn't get much time to discuss in class.

Good luck

I prefer persuasive or expository, because I find it difficult to sustain an imaginative piece at the level required to achieve a good mark.
With persuasive, make sure your contention is very clear because it will make writing your piece a lot easier. Or at least that's what I've found when I've written them.

I love imaginative pieces, however I find that simply constructing a solid one in 50 or 60 minutes is too hard.
So persuasive for me!

Imaginative because it allows me to improvise my way through which makes things easier and more fun for me!
