Year 11 Common Module – Reading to Write

In this module, students undertake the intensive and close reading of quality texts from a
variety of modes and media. In doing so, they further develop the skills and knowledge
necessary to appreciate, understand, analyse and evaluate how and why texts convey
complex ideas, relationships, endeavours and scenarios. Central to this module is
developing student capacity to respond perceptively to texts through their own considered
and thoughtful writing and judicious relationship on their skills and knowledge as writers.
Students read texts that are engaging thematically, aesthetically, stylistically and/or
conceptually to inspire or provoke them to critique skilfully, or to respond imaginatively.
Through the study of texts, students develop insights into the world around them, deepen
their understanding of themselves and the lives of others and enhance their enjoyment of
reading.
The careful selection of critical and creative texts that address the needs and interests of
students provides opportunities for them to increase the command of their own written
expression, and empower them with the confidence, skills and agility to employ language
precisely, appropriately and creatively for a variety of purposes.
Wide reading and reflection provides students with the opportunity to make deeper
connections and identify distinctions between texts to enhance their understanding of how
knowledge of language patterns, structures and features can be applied to unfamiliar texts.
Through imaginative re-creation students deepen their engagement with texts and
investigate the role of written language in different modes and how elements for example
tone, voice and image contribute to the way that meaning is made. By exploring texts that
are connected by form, point of view, genre or theme, students examine how purpose,
audience and context shape meaning and influence responses.
Through responding and composing for a range of purposes and audiences students further
develop skills in comprehension, analysis, interpretation and evaluation. They investigate
how various language forms and features such as structure, tone, imagery and syntax are
used for particular effect. They analyse and assess texts using appropriate terminology,
register and modality. By reading and writing complex texts they broaden the repertoire of
their vocabulary and extend control of spelling, punctuation and grammar to gain further
understanding of how their own distinctive voice may be expressed for specific purposes.
