'Robert Gray: Coast Road Student Book engages students in an enjoyable and detailed study of the prescribed poems of Robert Gray for the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Standard Module B: Close Study of Literature. It has been designed to improve detailed and informed knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the poems as literary texts.
'In order to develop their own considered personal response to the prescribed poems, students will engage in a variety of activities that require them to respond to the poems in both critical and creative ways. This includes tasks that require students to compose in the imaginative, persuasive, and discursive styles of writing. By working their way through the different activities in this student book, students will improve their understanding of: the content of the poems, the ideas and issues Robert Gray encourages readers to think about, the language the poems use, and the way they have been structured. Students will also learn how to support their judgements about the poems using detailed knowledge of language features and textual form.
'The poems covered in this student book include:
-
‘Journey, the North Coast’
-
‘Flames and Dangling Wire’
-
‘Harbour Dusk’
-
‘Byron Bay: Winter’
-
‘Description of a Walk’
-
’24 Poems’
