Ways Into - Peter Carey, 'A Report on the Shadow Industry'

HSC Module C: The Craft of Writing offers students complex texts from which to draw for their own writing. Because of their complex construction and ideas, students can be at a loss for ‘ways in’ to the text, and teachers can often struggle to break down these complex texts in the time available.

This product contains questions for Peter Carey’s short story, ‘A Report on the Shadow Industry’ and links to online resources which explain the Platonic allegory of the cave. It is designed to lead students to writing their own brief and creative allegory of life.
