My Year 12 Advanced English class is currently quite deep into 'revision mode'. Naturally, the students want to prepare as best they can for the upcoming HSC exams and, naturally, I want them to do this by writing as many practice responses to essay questions as possible. We're currently meeting about halfway on this and, in the spirit of preparation, I hoped to provide a useful overview that summarised some of the key concerns of the modules and the prescribed texts.
Below you will find some graphic organisers for Common Module - Texts and Human Experiences: Nineteen Eighty-Four and Module A - Textual Conversations: The Tempest & Hag-Seed. As they're hand-drawn they aren't as flash as I'd like them to be but I think (as far as first drafts go) that they'll do the job. Apologies for the font on the Module A one - I was experimenting and I guess I won't be using that particular font again!
I'm thinking I'll get the students to have a go at looking at their Craft of Writing texts in this fashion as part of their revision too.
I have been and am really impressed with your approach to student learning.
