English Faculty – Bernadette Coppock

Year 11 English Extension

Year 11 English Extension 1 enjoyed an immersion lesson for their first HSC lesson. The girls engaged with maps, scrolls, images and props (such as wands, potions, the Sorting Hat, spy glasses, astrolabe, and others) to explore literary worlds. 

The girls grappled with the question of why are we fascinated with literary worlds and why do we read and write them. We explored what makes a great opening line of a novel as well as how literary worlds create their own laws and rules for the fictional world to operate within. 

We ended with the girls brainstorming and pitching their idea for a literary world.
