Year+12+Literature

Hello All,

You are almost there. So much learning has already occurred and you have all done so well.

This year you will find that there are lots of resources you will need to collate and keep track of but hopefully this wiki will help. On this site you will find all your course material, homework and assessment outlines for the year ahead. There have been some new texts introduced this year so there will be gaps as this material will be developed as we go but for the most part this will be your portal to everything you need for this subject.

You will also find a space for you to be able to ask questions and collaborate while not in class. This is an important part of Lit.

Good Luck.

Mr Young

Fire Day BackUp If you don't have your text at home below are the scans of the pages we were going to look at for the passage analysis. Sorry about the quality of the second set - I killed the home scanner last year passing essays back and forth. Pages 29-34: Pages 51-58: if you are having difficulty with the ibook here is a PDF version with the annotations for the passage analysis task in a pages file below: || As this was a new text this year I don't have essay topics in the iBook.

This is why they are spaced in the way they are. You will also need this extract of a poetry text book. You will find it useful for other texts other than this one and it should help strengthen your interpretation and justification muscels. ||  || I have also written a sample section of an essay responding only to the view in the handout for Part 4. I have annotated the paragraph to show you what each sentence and element is achieving. Dont forget this is also an examination text so here is the begining of your exam preparation: || You may find this presentation useful when thinking about how to write the essay for this SAC.
