English Advanced

Support to help you plan, program and assess the English Advanced course.

The Year 11 and 12 English Advanced courses are described in English Advanced Stage 6 Syllabus.

Teacher advice – The Stage 6 phases project has been developed to support you in the structuring of teaching and learning activities for Stage 6 units. In the typical eight-week timeframe of a unit, you may employ a range of these phases in order to meet outcomes, cover content and prepare for assessment.

The term ‘phase’ helps to focus planning by identifying the specific purpose of each section within a teaching program. The phases are closely aligned to the English textual concept ‘learning processes’ of understanding, engaging personally, connecting, engaging critically, experimenting, and reflecting. As such each phase focuses teacher and student attention onto the learning intentions of each sequence of lessons.

Each phase lesson sequence is structured as a case study utilising a module and a prescribed text. However, the teaching and learning activities within the case study could be easily adapted to any Stage 6 unit.

You can adapt the following units of work as required.

Year 11 – Common module – Reading to write

Year 11 – Module A – Narratives that shape our world

Texts – The Handmaid's Tale (prose fiction); V for Vendetta (film)

Year 12 – Common Module – Texts and the human experience

Year 12 – Module A – Textual conversations

Year 12 – Module B – Critical study of literature

Note: There is no resource 9.

Year 12 – Module C – Craft of writing

Note: There is no resource 13, 18, 19, 20 or 28.

In this lesson sequence students will construct a narrative in response to a stimulus.
