Thank you for accessing and
exploring our digital Higher School Certificate English (HSC) resources for the
2015-2020 English courses.
My name is Pamela Cohen. I am a
passionate teacher of English. I have taught senior English in both the NSW and
ACT sectors.
Over a period of time I have
developed and refined a series of resources that has seen my students become
increasingly engaged with developing the all important skills of critical
reading and interpretation of texts. My work has been published in the English
Teachers Association journal metAphor. I am a current member of that
organisation.
These resources reflect my
determination to deliver all students with quality learning experiences. By
providing a user-friendly, accessible online resource, students are able to develop or
enhance their conceptual knowledge. These resources focus on the vocabulary of
analysis and provide a step-by-step deconstruction process allowing students to
develop and enhance the effectiveness of their written responses.
FOR TEACHERS: Our resources are
comprehensive. Programs for teaching the Area of Study and each Module across
the Standard, Advanced, ESL, Extension 1 are provided in the resource packages.
All resources come with extensive teacher notes to explain how the resources
can be used in the classroom. You can download instantly from our site and begin working with your resources immediately.
FOR
STUDENTS: The resources provide you with a process for the study of each text, worksheets with how-to-use
notes, sample deconstructions of texts. The resources provided for students are not ANSWER booklets. The
purpose of our resources is to support you with ideas and prompts. The
summaries will assist you to understand the text; the questions are
designed to encourage you to engage closely with your text. We do not
have overriding copyright on the texts on the list so references are in
accordance with individual copyright licenses that have had to be
negotiated and paid for with each publisher. As a result we cannot
provide an example for every technique in the texts and you will have to
engage with the texts. Please read our descriptions carefully as our
refund policy is that once you have purchased, and the resource has been downloaded, we do not provide refunds. Please email and ask questions if you are unsure of what we are offering. All breaches of copyright are reported so please, in this world of instant IT engagement, protect yourself by not breaching copyright and sharing our resources.
Questions and clarification are welcome. Email us at
admin@thecohencurricula.com.au if you would like to ask a question or use the
comments section of our blog.
New resources are being added
each day. We are beginning with the new 'Area of Study: Discovery' material and
will eventually cover each text on the new prescriptions list. Discounts will
apply for teachers or schools wanting to buy packages that cover the AOS and
all three Modules or a full school package for all courses taught. Texts not
yet on the website can be commissioned. All resources are instant download. Please contact us if there are issues with downloading your resources and we will email them to you as a matter of priority.
Related text resources will
gradually be added to the website with links to relevant texts and the Area of
Study and Module descriptions.
I hope these resources provide you with an innovative and thorough approach
to these new and exciting texts in the 2015-2020 prescriptions.
