XENB Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Gary Corrigan.
Prerequisites8 Credits in Level 2 English or HOD approval.
Everybody loves a villain! This one semester course explores the anti-hero, the psychopath, the characters on the outskirts of society. We will visit dark settings and consider the complex nature of good and evil through the lens of literature.
This is a one semester program targeting students who require additional Literacy credits, or those who would like to further develop their English skills without committing to a full year program.
Course Overview
Semester B
The semester will begin with the analysis of a film from within our chosen genre. Students will then use this as the basis of a research project, learning skills important to tertiary study. The class will produce two published pieces of writing based on the notion of villains or the concept of necessary evil. There is the option for inclusion in the Visual Text external examination, utilising the learning gained from the Internal Standards within class.

The standard 'Produce a selection of fluent and coherent writing which develops, sustains, and structures ideas', can be at either Level 2 or Level 3.
