This workshop offers a fantastic opportunity for students aiming to excel in their HSC English assessments and exams. Tailored for those studying Module A: Textual Conversations, it provides insightful guidance on comparative text analysis.
Participants will explore pairs of prescribed texts, including works by John Keats, William Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood, and others. The workshop encourages reflection on how texts align and contrast in conventions, contexts, values, and purposes. Students will gain a deeper understanding of textual connections, recycled ideas, and the influence of context on literature.
The session lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes and covers various text pairs such as "The Complete Poems" by John Keats with Jane Campion's "Bright Star," and Shakespeare's "The Tempest" with Margaret Atwood's "Hag-Seed." Attendees are advised to bring a fully charged laptop, snacks, and a water bottle. Reserve copies of the prescribed texts are available.

The venue is wheelchair accessible with lifts from street and ground levels, and features a hearing loop.
