HSC Module C: Ways Into - Kim Cheng Boey, 'Stamp Collecting'

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. Diving Bell’s ‘Ways Into’ series for Module C provide a structured way for students to consider the text in terms of Content, Context, and Construction, with appropriate elements within these headings. By the end of the worksheet the student should be clear on the content, meaning, construction-strategies, and ways to use Kim Cheng Boey’s autobiographical poem ‘Stamp Collecting’.

A completed teacher’s copy with possible responses is available so that time-poor teachers can lead classes through these texts.
