Year 11 English-Connected Texts

Year 11 English—connected texts study

Due date: Week 2 Term 4

|From the Curriculum Statement: |
|‘In the connected texts study each student will consider texts in relation to each other, to the context in which they are |
|generated, and to the context in which they are read or viewed. This will give students the opportunity to consider themselves|
|in relation to the texts from points of view such as gender, class, and culture, by examining what is included in the text and|
|what is excluded from the text. |
|Students will choose
This connection might be in content, theme, style, form, |
|context, or purpose. This may be achieved by writing an essay on two novels but could also be achieved by comparing visual |
|or aural texts, poems, magazines, or newspaper articles from the same or different social, cultural, or historical contexts. |
|Students could include a variety of text types in the texts chosen for connection and use a creative form for their response. |
|Oral and electronic modes could be used for the presentation of students’ findings.’
