Summary Note |
The Go Back to Where You Came From Student Book is a study of Series One of the SBS television documentary, Go Back to Where You Came From for the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences. By engaging in close reading of the series, alongside Susan B. Anthony's 'On Women's Right to Vote', Robert Frost's 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening', Alfred Lord Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shalott', George Orwell's 'The Sporting Spirit' and Geraldine Brook's '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. |
