Exploring Literature with Year 11 ATAR
This week, we introduced students to the concept of Literature – not just as novels, poems, or plays, but as a wide range of texts that help us explore human experiences, ideas, and emotions. From nursery rhymes to films, fairy tales to video games, we discovered how literature communicates meaning and tells stories in diverse forms.
Through activities such as Think–Pair–Share and reflective questioning, students engaged in critical thinking about why books remain important in a world filled with numerous storytelling mediums.
Encouraging students to define literature for themselves builds curiosity, cultural understanding, and a deeper appreciation of how stories shape us and our world.
