Description
This is a text book, not a textbook. It is not an instruction manual, but an opportunity for students to discover the English language and to explore the ways meaning is made. It offers a wealth of language experiences - talking, listening, reading, writing, viewing and representing - and a great variety of types of text for students to respond to or compose. The Text Book: Resources for English Book 1 contains eight integrated modules for junior secondary English students. The modules are particularly relevant to the new NSW 7-10 English syllabus. There is special emphasis on visual literacy, on media, electronic and multimodal texts and on composing tasks of many kinds. Most tasks are open-ended, catering for a wide range of students and will challenge and stimulate students. All the tasks are designed to help students become more critically literate.
