Rationale:

An Area of Study is the exploration of a concept that affects our perceptions of ourselves and our world. Students explore, analyse, question and articulate
the ways in which perceptions of this concept are shaped in and through a variety of texts.
Students responses to texts are supported by their own composition of, and experimentation with, imaginative and other texts. They explore ways of
representing events, experiences, ideas, values and processes, and consider the ways in which changes of form and language affect meaning.
The Area of Study is Discovery and students are required to explore the ways in which this concept is represented in and through texts. Discoveries can be
sudden and unexpected or can emerge from careful planning induced by curiosity, wonder or necessity. Discoveries can be physical, spiritual, emotional,
creative and intellectual. They can be confronting but also exhilarating and can offer new understandings and renewed perceptions of ourselves and others.
The HSC Standard English class will be introduced to the concept of Discovery and will Study a Prescribed Text form Module B: Wilfred Owen: War
Poems. As this is the 100 year anniversary of the ANZAC Legend the students would have seen many multimodal documentaries and will have the
opportunity to engage in the Discovery of another side of World War 1 through the prescribed text and a related text All Quite on the Western Front E.M.
Remarque.
