This student book is a study of Anthony Doerr’s novel, All the Light We Cannot See, along with a variety of other speeches, prose fiction, and non-fiction texts.  It has been designed to fulfill the requirements of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences.

By engaging in close reading of the novel, alongside the following texts: Susan B. Anthony’s ‘On Women’s Right to Vote’, Nam Le’s ‘Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice’; Geraldine Brook’s ‘A Home in Fiction’, Robert Frost’s ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, and Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Pedestrian’, students will develop their knowledge of how texts provide insight into the emotions, behaviour, and motivations that form the core of human experiences.

As a complete, stand-alone unit of work, this student book is a highly valuable resource for students and teachers of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences. It includes:

• A variety of engaging classroom activities to develop skills in comprehension, analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of texts
