Module B: Close Study of Text
The module requires students to engage in detailed analysis of a text. It develops students’ understanding of how the ideas, forms and language of a text interact within the text and may affect those responding to it. (Refer to the English Stage 6 Syllabus, pp 30–31.)
Students engage with the text to respond imaginatively, affectively and critically. They explore and analyse particular characteristics of the text, considering how these shape meaning. They also consider the ways in which these characteristics establish the text’s distinctive qualities.
Composition focuses on meaning shaped in and through the text. These compositions may be realised in a variety of forms and media.
