| Summary |
The Poetry of Kenneth Slessor Student Book is a study of the prescribed poems of Kenneth Slessor for the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences. By engaging in close reading of the poems, 'Wild Grapes', 'Gulliver', 'Out of Time', 'Vesper-Song of the Reverend Samuel Marsden', 'William Street', and 'Beach Burial', alongside Susan B. Anthony's 'On Women's Right to Vote', Alfred Lord Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shalott', Ray Bradbury's 'The Pedestrian', George Orwell's 'The Sporting Spirit' and Geraldine Brooks' 'A Home in Fiction', students will develop their knowledge of how texts provide insight into the emotions, behaviour, and motivations that form the core of human experiences. To help students master the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills the Common Module demands, a variety of analytical, creative, discursive, and reflective activities have been included in this student book. By completing these earnestly and diligently, students' skills and confidence in using disciplinary specific language, literary devices, and textual concepts in response to different texts is guaranteed to improve. This student book is a highly valuable resource both students and teachers of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences. |
