This year you will be studying the following:
Term 1: Genre Study
- This unit introduces the students to literary genre as a feature of modern writing. Students will examine the language forms and features of a variety of genres before focusing on a genre of their teacher’s choice.
- Students will explore ‘beyond the self’ and develop a critical awareness of the perspectives of others within the Australian context.
- Students will be guided through a study of specific horrible worlds, e.g. Elizabethan England (1558-1603), as a basis for a study into the world of William Shakespeare. Students will critically analyse Shakespeare’s work in order to recognise the importance of his work in shaping our perspectives of the modern world.
- The focus of this unit is for students to explore the power of both visual and language elements to create evocative images. They will investigate and analyse how composers use imagery to convey meaning, specifically their ability to emotionally position the responder.
