Teacher's Notes:
The Journey is an Area of Study.
In the
NSW Stage 6 syllabus, an Area of Study is described as ' the
exploration of a concept that affects our perceptions of ourselves
and our world.' Students explore the concept of
The Journey by analysing a range of
texts and considering the composers perspectives on journeys. They
compose their own texts and present their own coherently integrated
interpretation of the concept.
Learning Objectives:
describe ideas about
The Journey explored in at least
three texts.
explain perspectives on
The Journey represented in at least
three texts.
analyse the ways language is used
to convey ideas about The Journey.
compose narratives that represent
ideas about The Journey.

representations of The Journey in
at least three texts.
