Content
Throughout the year, students may:
- Respond to texts
Through their study of literary texts, students understand how readers are influenced to respond to their own and others' cultural experiences and how audiences' expectations shape perceptions of texts and their significance.
- Create texts
Students create texts that enable them to apply the knowledge, skills, and understandings developed by studying literary texts in various forms.
- Undertake a comparative analysis
Students complete a written comparative analysis of two texts and evaluate how the language features, stylistic features, and conventions in these texts represent ideas, perspectives, and/or aspects of culture and influence audiences.
- Undertake a critical reading examination
The examination will consist of a critical reading of one or more short texts. The short texts may be in a variety of forms (e.g. prose, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, texts with graphic or visual elements, or excerpts from film or soundtracks).
