This website offers teaching and learning materials on selected texts set for study. It provides teachers with a range tasks and activities to enable students to develop their understanding of the texts and to extend and shape their ideas. Furthermore, each text unit explores the texts as works of literature and includes background material about the text’s historical and political contexts, the author and the book, as well as close study of the characters, themes and issues, the text’s narrative elements, and stylistic features. Critical readings are also included to further challenge and extend the student’s thinking about the text.  This site is password protected for the English staff and students of Melbourne High School.

Students are reminded that learning materials and related on-line links are for study purposes and to help you with your reading and thinking about the texts. Under no circumstances should they replace your own ideas and interpretations. Students are reminded of the School's policy regarding authentication and the consequences of 'cheating'.
