The course is organized into three areas of exploration which blend together while each providing a focus for investigation:
• Readers, writers and texts introduces the notion of literature, its purposes and the ways in which texts can be read, interpreted and responded to.
• Time and space draws attention to the fact that texts are not isolated entities, but are connected to space and time.
• Intertextuality: connecting texts focuses on the connections between and among diverse texts, traditions, creators and ideas.
A detailed overview of these Areas of Exploration and how you can incorporate them into your booklist can be found on pages 25-34 of the IB SSST student guide.
In our first few classes together, we will be looking at these 3 Areas of Exploration (AOEs) in more detail and you will completed your first Learner Portfolio assignment.
This first assignment will allow you to unpack what each AOE covers and how you can use each one as a lens through which you read and interpret the texts we are reading.
