This student book is a study of the SBS series, Go Back to Where You Came From, directed by Ivan O’Mahoney, along with a variety of other poems, 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 four episodes from Go Back to Where You Came From, alongside the following texts: Susan B. Anthony’s ‘On Women’s Right to Vote’, Robert Frost’s ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’; Alfred Lord Tennyson’s ‘The Lady of Shalott’, George Orwell’s ‘The Sporting Spirit’ and Geraldine’s Brooks’ ‘A Home in Fiction’, 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
