Our Goals

In this genre study, students build on their understanding of the ways texts reflect the values and attitudes of a society. They explore the conventions of the crime genre and consider how this genre has developed and changed in varying contexts (Victorian England to today). Students compare and contrast the language, structures and content of a range of written, film and media texts to consider the ways texts influence audience response. In applying this knowledge, students will create imaginative texts that integrate their understanding of the conventions, values and attitudes of the genre.
