It identifies the specific skills needed by students to answer questions in each part of the examination paper as well as highlighting how ‘belonging’ concepts and ideas can be represented in a range of texts. Various components of Paper One, as well as the various types of texts that are likely to be needed for the area of study, are explored and deconstructed. For each question, there is a guide to what should be included in an answer according to the marking criteria. Sample tests, response, practice questions and student checklists are given to provide teachers and students with a range of useful stimulus materials. Four complete sample examination papers are also provided to give students familiarity with likely exam format and subject matter. In addition there are detailed overviews of the major text types useful in preparing for both examination papers. The aim of the Examination Preparation Guide is to clarify the skills, knowledge and understandings that will help students maximise their exam performance.  Exam Preparation Guide : Belonging 978-1-921085-79-6    $49.95    available NOW     We also have a number of existing titles suitable for texts on the 2009 prescribed text list.   Phoenix Senior English Guides   Hamlet                              Kenneth Slessor                    The Great Gatsby Gwen Harwood                 Wilfred Owen                         Strictly Ballroom Snow Falling on Cedars    The Crucible                          Coleridge Pride and Prejudice _________________________________________________________ Shakespeare Workshop series Merchant of Venice Hamlet Julius Caesar Twelfth Night As You Like it (only included in Introducing Shakespeare) Richard III  (only included in Shakespeare’s Histories) Available in single volumes, or in combined volumes of Shakespeare’s Tragedies (Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Anthony & Cleopatra, Othello)  Shakespeare’s Comedies( Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, Taming of the Shrew, The Tempest, Twelfth Night)       Introducing Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It, Julius Caesar, Midsummer Nights Dream, Merchant of Venice)                     Shakespeare’s Histories (Richard II, Richard III, Henry IV Pt 1, Henry V)   __________________________________________________________________________      A Workshop Approach to Modern Drama   includes The Herbal Bed                      ___________________________________________________________________________________  Jane Made Plain includes  Pride and Prejudice       ____________________________________________________________________________________   At the Round Earth’s Imagined Corners  a Multicultural Anthology of Contemporary Poetry  ____________________________________________________________________________________     Belonging - area of study by Barbara Stanners   This photocopiable resource book provides a wide-ranging textual study of facets of the concept of belonging, with detailed coverage of all the three focus areas, with emphasis on · the process of representing meaning within texts · what is said about belonging and how it is said · intertextuality within and between texts The text provides: · suggestions and strategies for dealing with the prescribed texts, including detailed analysis and links to the area of study  · photocopiable student pages, with questions focusing on what is being said and how it is being said, and including essay questions and response tasks · clear references to the prescribed texts to make it easy to locate relevant extracts and examples · guidelines for  assessment and sample student essays Contents Belonging Basics The Language of Belonging Defining Belonging Belonging as a Fundamental Need A Sense of Community A Sense of Place Alienation and Disaffection Prescribed Texts Prose Fiction or Nonfiction Charles Dickens  ~ Great Expectations Raymond Gaita   ~Romulus, My Father Jhumpa Lahiri     ~The Namesake Drama or Film or Shakespeare Arthur Miller     ~The Crucible, Baz Luhrmann  ~Strictly Ballroom, William Shakespeare ~  As You Like It Poetry Peter, Skrzynecki ~Immigrant Chronicle, ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’, ‘St Patrick’s College’, ‘Ancestors’, ‘10 Mary Street’, ‘Migrant Hostel’, ‘Postcard’, ‘In the Folk Museum’ Steven Herrick   ~The Simple Gift Related Texts The Widower in the Country My Place Enter Without So Much as Knocking Originally Cob’s cartoons – schoolyard, old man High Noon Radiance The March of the Penguins The Ugly Duckling  Poetry Peter, Skrzynecki ~Immigrant Chronicle, ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’, ‘St Patrick’s College’, ‘Ancestors’, ‘10 Mary Street’, ‘Migrant Hostel’, ‘Postcard’, ‘In the Folk Museum’ Steven Herrick   ~The Simple Gift Related Texts The Widower in the Country My Place Enter Without So Much as Knocking Originally Cob’s cartoons – schoolyard, old man High Noon Radiance The March of the Penguins The Ugly Duckling Poetry Peter, Skrzynecki ~Immigrant Chronicle, ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’, ‘St Patrick’s College’, ‘Ancestors’, ‘10 Mary Street’, ‘Migrant Hostel’, ‘Postcard’, ‘In the Folk Museum’ Steven Herrick   ~The Simple Gift Related Texts The Widower in the Country My Place Enter Without So Much as Knocking Originally Cob’s cartoons – schoolyard, old man High Noon Radiance The March of the Penguins The Ugly Duckling Belonging - Area of Study   978 1 921085 76 5     $76.95  - photocopiable available NOW   Standard Modules & Electives 2009 edition  Teacher’s Resource Book for HSC English   by Barbara Stanners   HSC English Standard  Modules and Electives provides an integrated study of language and text.
