It is recommended that students check with their teacher to see if these
suggestions are appropriate. In choosing texts, it is important to include
a variety of text types, i.e. film, novel, poetry etc.
This area of study requires students to explore the ways in which the concept of discovery is
represented in and through texts.
Discovery can encompass the experience of discovering something for the first time or rediscovering
something that has been lost, forgotten or concealed. Discoveries can be sudden and unexpected, or
they can emerge from a process of deliberate and careful planning evoked by curiosity, necessity or
wonder. Discoveries can be fresh and intensely meaningful in ways that may be emotional, creative,
intellectual, physical and spiritual. They can also be confronting and provocative. They can lead us to
new worlds and values, stimulate new ideas, and enable us to speculate about future possibilities.
Discoveries and discovering can offer new understandings and renewed perceptions of ourselves
and others.
An individual’s discoveries and their process of discovering can vary according to personal, cultural,
historical and social contexts and values. The impact of these discoveries can be far-reaching and
transformative for the individual and for broader society. Discoveries may be questioned or
challenged when viewed from different perspectives and their worth may be reassessed over time.
The ramifications of particular discoveries may differ for individuals and their worlds.
By exploring the concept of discovery, students can understand how texts have the potential to affirm
or challenge individuals’ or more widely-held assumptions and beliefs about aspects of human
experience and the world. Through composing and responding to a wide range of texts, students
may make discoveries about people, relationships, societies, places and events and generate new
ideas.
By synthesising perspectives, students may deepen their understanding of the concept of discovery.
Students consider the ways composers may invite them to experience discovery through their texts
and explore how the process of discovering is represented using a variety of language modes, forms
and features.
In their responses and compositions, students examine, question, and reflect and speculate on:
their own experiences of discovery the experience of discovery in and through their engagement with texts assumptions underlying various representations of the concept of discovery how the concept of discovery is conveyed through the representations of people,
relationships, societies, places, events and ideas that they encounter in the prescribed text and other related texts of their own choosing
how the composer’s choice of language modes, forms, features and structure shapes representations of discovery and discovering
the ways in which exploring the concept of discovery may broaden and deepen their understanding of themselves and their world.
