Part of a Family
MODULE H
MODULE H
Through an exploration of imaginative and factual texts, students gain an understanding of the diversity and complexity of family life.
Students develop insights into the significance of the relationships between individuals, families and communities.
Students write and respond to the texts studied to develop an understanding of audience, purpose and context.
This unit has been designed to develop understanding of, and proficiency in, the use of language related to the nature of families, the roles of family within communities as well as their representations in a variety of texts.
Students will engage with and critique a range of literary texts that explore the diverse representations of family in an imaginative way. They further develop their abilities to analyse how language is used to portray and explore ideas and issues. The unit also considers how texts represent a broad range of family structures and relationships in different ways and investigate how attitudes and individuals are depicted in these texts.
Through activities, students will explore individual and collective experiences and opinions and extend their skills in responding to texts by representing their own ideas and experiences in a range of creative and personal ways.
