How have we come to be who we are?
What shapes and continues to shape who we are?
How do all the pieces fit together?
The big bang, the explosive times, the reflective moments, the rebellions, the peaceful days, the conflict and the harmony of it all. Who are you in the midst of the world? Indeed, who are you in the midst of the universe?

What lessons are in store for you as you contemplate life and the stories that people share?

Welcome to our Creating and Presenting Area of Study learning space. Our Context for Semester One is 'Self and Place' and our Context for Semester Two is 'The lessons life teaches us'. These thematic based units provide us with a wonderful opportunity to explore, question and share our understandings of the world in terms of beliefs, values, personal experiences, history, literature, politics, science and more. Hopefully we can all experience a journey that is inspired from local national and global perspectives in some way; a journey that enables us to add our voices to the digital development of a world that is continually growing in respect, tolerance and equality.

An example of a Creating and Presenting response

The Creating and Presenting response linked to here demonstrates how a student needs to go beyond the set text in a writing piece they create. The writer incorporates obvious connectons to the focus text, Growing Up Asian in Australia, but evidences that their exploration of the Context has gone further by making reference to the Hungry Beast story 'Racial Facial - Asian Eyelid Surgery. (Please note this response is a Year 12 example of Creating and Presenting work and deals with the Context Exploring Issues of Identity and Belonging)

View the Hungry Beast story and then read the example Creating and Presenting piece as an action to consolidate your understanding of what it means to 'go beyond the set text' when you create responses for this Area of Study.
