Kinawapa wanafunzi mwangaza na ustadi kamili kuhusu uandishi wa tungo hizi kwa kutilia mkazo masharti ya karatasi ya insha katika mtihani wa KCSE. Chapisho hili ni kito kwa mwanafunzi anayetafuta alama ‘A’ katika mtihani. Mwalimu amepewa dira ya kufundishia na kutathminia uwezo wa wanafunzi wake katika uandishi wa insha.

• Sura ya pili inashughulikia insha za kubuni/kawaida. Hizi ni insha zinazotathmini
ubunifu wa mwanafunzi.
• Sura ya tatu inaangazia insha za kiuamilifu. Tungo hizi huandikwa kwa kufuata sheria, maumbo au taratibu zilizowekwa. • Muundo na sifa za kila insha zimeelezwa kwa kina.
• Makosa ya kawaida yanayofanywa na watahiniwa wanapoandika insha yametajwa ili kuwatahadharisha waepukane nayo.
• Upekee wa kitabu hiki ni kuwepo kwa mifano miwili miwili ya insha zilizoandikwa na waandishi wa kitabu hiki. Pia, mifano mitatu mitatu ya insha zilizoandikwa na wanafunzi wa kidato cha l na 2, katika mazingira ya mtihani, kutoka shule mbalimbali nchini imeambatishwa. Insha hizi zimesahihishwa na watahini wa kiwango cha kitaifa kulingana na utaratibu unaozingatiwa katika kusahihisha mitihani ya KCSE. Maoni kuhusu jinsi ya kuziimarisha yametolewa.
• Zoezi limetolewa baada ya kila utungo ili mwalimu na mwanafunzi waweze kulitumia kufanyia mazoezi darasani. Vielelezo vya mtihani wa insha wa KCSE vimetolewa ili mwanafunzi apate taswira kamili ya jinsi mtihani wa insha unavyoandaliwa na pia ajiandae kuukabili.
