THE ENGLISH WORKS GUIDE YEAR 12 FRAMEWORKS: WRITING ABOUT PROTEST

This workbook evaluates the theme of protest in relation to the four mentor texts. It covers various protest movements as they speak truth to power, revealing activists fighting discrimination and prejudice. It covers the gay and lesbian civil rights campaign (Mark Gillepsie, “On the Sydney Mardi Gras March of 1978”), the suffragette fight for women’s rights and subsequent activism against the Marriage Bar (Emmeline Pankhurst, “Freedom or Death”) and the civil rights campaigns for racial justice; (Meyne Wyatt, “Monologue from City of Gold”). It also covers the protest strategies used by activists and the costs and the struggles they face as they challenge powerful institutions and powerbrokers (Kurt Vonnegut, “Harrison Bergeron”)

At the heart of these various narratives, is not just a push for inclusion and diversity but for a fundamental change to social structures. It is a fight that challenges the very structures of power and the racism, sexism, and homophobia that underpins them leading to marginalisation and disenfranchisement among groups of people.

This workbook consists of five typical “student” pieces spanning a variety of text types: a personal reflective text; oral histories-monologue; a key note address at a rally; an opinion-style reflective article.

The sample reflective commentaries alternate between journal excerpts and a “supervised classroom” style.

In both scenarios, students must systematically evaluate the links between their piece and the mentor text. They must detail their literary journey including structure, and literary and linguistic features. In their respective commentary, students will explain: the choice of mode, audience and context; key language features, style, tone and register and their purpose.

A detailed categorisation of the features as well as checklists will help students craft both their piece and their commentary.
