Cruise Control

Supports students in Year 11 English courses at a time when they are beginning to drive.

<p>The result of a partnership between Transport for NSW and the English Teachers Association, Cruise Control was developed for teachers to support the Year 11 English courses and Year 11 students at a time when they are beginning to drive.  Playfully we have adopted the extended metaphor of the road for this resource: preparing for a journey of textual study, a journey towards the outcomes of the senior English courses.</p>
<p>Students:</p>
<ul>
<li>survey the big picture, the panorama, the influences outside the text that affect composition and response. They explore the concepts of Authority, context and perspective that are so important in shaping meaning</li>
<li>plan their journey, examining highways and by-ways to determine their Roadways to reading, how they will navigate texts, intertexts and hypertexts</li>
<li>choose a direction, deciding on what constrains and what enables meaning, the influences of Rhetoric and Genre and at last,</li>
<li>start the Ignition when concepts and processes are put into play in their independent projects.</li>
</ul>
<p>The texts from the Centre for Road Safety are taken from the website and also include texts, not usually seen by the public, used in the development of campaigns. These are short and are often linked to other more substantial or literary texts, inviting teachers to find further links with:</p>
<ul>
<li>narratives or forms of argument</li>
<li>substantial texts for close study and</li>
<li>other activities to develop foundational textual concepts such as representation and code and convention.</li>
</ul>
<p>The ETA thanks the CRS for giving us the opportunity to create meaningful resources that will enhance student learning and reinforce the importance of responsible citizenship.</p>
