Unit 1
In this unit, students consider how language, structure and stylistic choices are used in different literary forms and types of texts. They explore concerns, ideas, style and conventions common to a distinctive type of literature seen in literary movements or genres. Students begin to identify and explore textual details, including language and features, to develop a close analysis response to a text.
Unit 2
In this unit, students explore the voices, perspectives and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors and creators. They focus on the text and its historical, social and cultural context. Students reflect on representations of a specific time period and/or culture within a text. Students develop the ability to analyse language closely, recognising that words have historical and cultural import.
