Writing for assessment and for range: timed essays, creative responses, discursive writing and reflection.
These are the statements the English Year 10 syllabus makes about Writing and Representing. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Writing and Representing are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones English Year 10 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Writing and Representing is module 2 of 3 in English Year 10. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses English Year 10 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
