In Achieving through English, students are presented with an enriching study, designed to facilitate a deep exploration of how English texts depict the realms of work, community, and education. Through the careful examination of both classic and contemporary literary works, students are guided on a journey to enhance their comprehension of how the dynamics of work and education shape our individual identities, prompting thoughtful reflection on their own paths forward. The core text for this unit of work is the YA novel, I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios.

This study offers a comprehensive framework for students to not only appreciate the profound influence of work and education on our lives but also to harness the transformative power of effective communication. By engaging with the diverse modes of reading, writing, viewing, and representing, students cultivate a versatile skill set that extends far beyond the classroom. These skills serve as indispensable tools for their future participation in further education, the workforce, and the broader community.
