The Phoenix Senior English Guide Advanced Modules and Electives provides an integrated study of language and text. It includes a broad selection of HSC prescribed texts set for 2015-2020 and drawn from prose fiction, drama, poetry, film, non-fiction and media. Syllabus and rubric guidelines have directed the analysis and detailed examination of how language use and representational mediums and techniques have helped shape meaning and influence audience response and interpretation. Embedded references to textual content, purpose and register should help students interpret, evaluate and articulate their personalised understanding of the relationship between composer and responder. These books are an invaluable teaching and study resource, providing not only in-depth analysis but also photocopiable student response questions and tasks. These reinforce awareness of the necessary conceptual and textual knowledge needed for prescribed and related texts.
