Literature (ATAR)

Literature ATAR teaches students to learn to create readings of literary texts and how to create their own texts. These include essays, poems, short stories and plays. Students also engage with literary theory and study literary texts in detail by learning to read texts in terms of their cultural, social, and historical contexts; their values and attitudes; and their generic conventions and literary techniques. 

Units of Work 

• Unit 1 develops students’ knowledge and understanding of different ways of reading and creating literary texts drawn from a widening range of historical, social, cultural, and personal contexts. 
• Unit 2 develops students’ knowledge and understanding of intertextuality, the ways literary texts connect with each other. 
• Unit 3 develops students’ knowledge and understanding of the relationship between language, culture, and identity in literary texts. 
• Unit 4 develops students’ appreciation of the significance of literary study through close critical analysis of literary texts drawn from a range of forms, genres, and styles.
