 * Welcome to the Year 11 Advanced English wiki **

A wiki is a collaborative learning space. Research shows that the most successful learners are collaborative learners.

You will be able to upload your work, view the work of others and comment on the work of others. You will participate in forum discussions about your texts and units. Files and media may be attached to your wiki, so it is an excellent place to share resources.

The units in Year 11 Advanced will prepare you for the demanding electives you will study in HSC Advanced English. You will complete an Area of Study, a critical study of a text and you will examine a historically significant text in its context and explore later manifestations of the genre. In the HSC Advanced Course, you will examine the Area of Study Belonging and examine three electives.

What can you do to ensure great results in the Preliminary Course? 1/ Regularly reflect in a journal or on your wiki page about your set texts and concepts.

2/ Read a wide range of critical articles about your prescribed texts (begin with the NSW State Library, obtain an online reader's card)

3/ Look at and attempt past HSC papers to prepare for the Half Yearly and the Preliminary Exam (see your teacher for samples)

Most importantly, read your texts in advance of class and become a fan of the sticky note.
