How texts construct worlds, the relationship between the world of the text and the world of the reader, and the theory that frames both.
These are the statements the English Extension 1 syllabus makes about Literary Worlds. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
What the canon is, who built it, and how context determines which texts survive.
How a text builds a world through selection, omission and point of view, and what that world assumes.
The relationship between a text's world and the world it claims to represent, including where the two diverge.
How texts answer earlier texts, and how recognising the echo changes the reading.
The major critical lenses, and choosing one because it reveals something rather than because it is familiar.
How meaning is produced between text and reader, and the limits of a purely reader-centred account.
HSC English Extension 1 - Trial Paper Shape is 50 marks in 120 minutes. Questions on Literary Worlds are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones English Extension 1 uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Literary Worlds opens the English Extension 1 course. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses English Extension 1 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
