The Journey

Area of Study
  • What is an Area of Study?
  • In the HSC all students in the ESL, Standard and
    Advanced course complete the same area of study
    paper. All students in all courses focus on the
    area journeys although they may be focusing on
    a different aspect of the journey (ie. Inner,
    physical, imaginative).
  • The AOS Journeys requires students to explore
    the ways in which the concept of the journey is
    considered and expressed in and through texts. In
    their responses and compositions students
    examine, question and reflect on
  • Their observation and understanding of the
    portrayed events, people, ideas and societies
    that they encounter in and through the prescribed
    texts and texts of their own choosing related to
    the Area of Study
  • The assumptions underlying the representations
    of journeys
  • The ways in which they perceive the world
    through texts and speculate about it
  • The ways they consider and express their own
    journey experiences.

3
Sections in the Area of Study
  • There are three sections in the Area of Study.
    These are
  • Section One In this section students will be
    given a selection of previously unseen stimulus
    material. Students will have to reply to a
    series of short answer questions.
  • Section Two In this section students are
    required to respond creatively to a stimulus.
    This creative response can take the form a short
    story, a letter, a journal entry or reflection.
  • Section Three In this section students will be
    asked to use their core text, the stimulus
    booklet and related material to respond to a
    question on the theme of journeys.
  • All of these sections will be explored in
    greater detail in this
  • power point presentation

4
Types of Journeys
  • Physical
  • Inner
  • Imaginative

5
Introduction to focus inner journeys
  • Through this focus students explore the ways
    in which texts depict journeys of the mind and
    spirit. Inner journeys involve the exploration
    of the self, as individuals review their growth
    and development in the light of experiences which
    challenge and inspire them. Students examine the
    underlying assumptions about these inner journeys
    and consider the power of the inner journey to
    challenge their thinking. In their responding
    and composing, students reflect on the ways these
    inner journeys provide new insights and
    understanding of the world and themselves.

Reflection
  • Brainstorm
  • What have you learned about journeys over the
    past year?
  • Reflect
  • What is a journey you have had in your own
    life?
  • Which character/author we have studied has a
    journey most similar to yours?

9
Before we BeginCopy the following chart into
your notebooks and fill it in as we look at the
next few overheads. Use two A4 pages, so that you
can get all the information in.
10
Obstacles to Journeys
  • Societal Restraints
  • Other Individuals
  • Personal limitations (For example, ignorance,
    denial of inner life, poor commitment).
  • What others can you come up with?
  • Critical Reflection
  • What obstacles have you faced to your own
    journey?
  • What kind of obstacles did the characters/personas
    in the stimulus booklet, your related material
    and Life is Beautiful face?

11
Forces that Initiate Journeys
  • Maturation
  • Internal desire
  • External events
  • Influences of other people
  • Spirituality
  • What others can you come up with?
  • Critical Reflection
  • What are the forces that have initiated journeys
    in your own life?
  • What were the forces that initiated the journeys
    of the characters/personas in the stimulus
    booklet, your realted texts and Life is
    Beautiful?

12
Sources of Assistance
  • Mentors
  • Significant others
  • Competitors
  • Faith
  • Belief in self
  • The journey of others
  • Can you think of any others?
  • Critical Reflection
  • What sources of assistance have you had in your
    own journey?
  • What sources of assistance did the
    characters/personas in the stimulus booklet text,
    your related material and Life is Beautiful have?

13
Nature of the Journey
  • Linear
  • Non-Linear
  • Gradual
  • Fast
  • Continuous
  • Spasmodic
  • short
  • What others can you come up with?
  • Critical Reflection
  • How could you describe the nature of journeys
    that you have taken?
  • How could you describe the nature of the journeys
    that the characters/ personas in the stimulus
    booklet, your related texts and Life is Beautiful
    have taken?

14
Consequences of Journeys
  • Changes in the individual- physically,
    psychologically, intellectually
  • Changes in society eg. New collective knowledge
    and lifestyle through discoveries, effect of
    physical conquests
  • May provide inspiration for the journeys of others

15
The Structure of the Journey Narrative
  • All journey narratives share a basic structure
  • Orientation
  • The responder is introduced to the
    character/persona and becomes aware of who they
    are before they embark on their journey.
  • Complication
  • Events and/or circumstances lead the
    character/persona to embark on their journey.
  • Climax
  • The character/persona of the text encounters
    obstacles or discovers something new about their
    journey. This is usually about 2/3 through the
    text and is the turning point in their journey
  • Resolution
  • The responder can see that the character/persona
    has clearly been changed by their journey. This
    new person can clearly be contrasted with the
    persona/character that the responder was
    introduced to in the orientation.

16
Example of the Journey Narrative
  • A personal journey

17
TaskPick two texts that we have studied in the
unit journeys and fill out the following chart in
order to determine what their journey narrative
is.
18
Review
  • A summary of what we have learned about the
    concept of journeys so far
  • The Journey may be physical, inner or
    imaginative, but it is usually a combination of
    these.
  • The journey is almost always a quest for both
    discovery and self-discovery.
  • Through the journey an individuals
    understandings about their own gender, sexuality,
    class, race, ethnicity, age, ability is changed
  • Journeys can give characters/personas/ourselves a
    better understanding of our own position within
    society and culture
  • Taking a journey often involves encountering and
    overcoming obstacles.
  • There are always forces that initially initiate a
    characters/personas/our own journey
  • There are always sources of assistance for
    characters/persona's/our own journeys.
  • There are always consequences/a person always
    changes through their journey.
  • Critical Reflection What new things have you
    learned about the concept of journeys?

19
Lets Take A Closer Look at Sections One, Two
and Threeof the Area of Study paper
20
Section OneConsists of short answer replies to a
variety of unseen texts that take journeys as a
prominent theme
  • In order to do well in this section you
    should be obeying the following basic rules
  • 1.) Before you answer a question look at how many
    points it is worth. A question that is only
    worth one point generally only requires a one or
    two sentence answer. A question that is worth 3
    points will take you about a paragraph to answer
    because you need to supply more information in
    order to get the full three points.
  • 2.) Do not list techniques without explaining how
    the composer uses them in order to shape meaning.
    Anyone can list of a bunch of big words it is
    knowing how to use them that will get you points.
    Stick to the formula that we have gone over in
    class (Technique Example Shapes Meaning).
  • 3.) Most questions are asking you to discuss
    techniques even if they dont specifically
    mention the word techniques in the wording of
    the question.

21
Section One Continued
  • 4.) If the question asks you to discuss what
    types of journeysare in a particular text, you
    need to specifically mention what type of journey
    the composer is talking about. For example,
    physical, inner,or imaginative.
  • 5.) Know your techniques. Things like, the
    composer uses paragraphs or the composer uses
    sentences are not techniques. Techniques are
    things like metaphor, symbol, formal language,
    informal language, juxtaposition, etcetera

22
ExamplesIn the following example answers
students forgot to follow some of our basic rules
(naughty students!). How could we use the basic
rules to make their answers better?
  • Question The Composer uses a variety of
    techniques to convey feelings about journeys.
    Identify and explain two techniques used. (Two
    points)
  • Answer The composer uses assonance in this text.
    He also uses metaphors and similes.
  • Question What type of journey is the poem about?
    (One point)
  • Answer The type of journey in the poem is a
    physical journey. This is shown as the person in
    the poem describes his physical actions and
    things happening. It is also mental as the
    person in the poem describes his feelings and
    thoughts, for example as the ferry is leaving the
    person are physically on a journey and it
    mentally symbolizes the persons journey from a
    small bay to a big city.

23
Some Better Examples
  • Question What type of Journey is this poem
    about? (One Point)
  • Answer Grays poem shows a physical journey on
    the ferry and an imaginative journey as he
    reminisces about his life.
  • Question The composer uses a variety of
    techniques to convey feelings about the journey.
    Identify and explain two techniques used. (Two
    points)
  • Answer The composer juxtaposes light and dark
    imagery. For example, the longer white lights
    feel nervously around in the blackness This
    juxtaposition is used in order to emphasize the
    search for light (understanding) in a dark
    (confusing) world. Throughout the poem the
    physical journey on the ferry is a metaphor for
    the inner journey that the passenger goes on.
    This metaphor allows the responder to experience
    their own inner journey through being placed on a
    physical journey with the responder.

24
Some Better Examples Continued
  • Although most of section one requires students to
    respond in short answer form there is always an
    extended response question at the end of this
    section. This extended response question
    requires students to respond to two of the texts
    that have previously been presented in this
    section. The extended response question can take
    the form of a letter, a journal entry, a script,
    interview, proposal or reflection. This question
    is worth six points so your response should take
    up about a page.

25
Example Extended Response
  • Texts One, Two and Three
  • Question You are conducting a radio interview
    with two ONLY of the composers of Texts One, Two
    and/or Three. The subject of the interview is
  • Not all journeys have an ending
  • In one page explain to your radio producer what
    you hope to discover from your chosen
    interviewees and how you will incorporate your
    chosen texts into the interview.

26
Example Extended Response
  • Answer
  • Dear Producer,
  • I would like to conduct a radio interview with
    Robert Gray and the marketing company responsible
    for The Ghan advertisements. I hope to discover
    if the composers believe that not all journeys
    have an ending. The marketing company for The
    Gahn has created a series of advertisements which
    make references to early exploration in
    Australia. The marketing company has used
    pictures of Afghan camels and colonials in
    traditional white suits crossing the outback to
    remind the viewer of the historic importance of
    crossing the outback. Exploring the outback has
    always been an important part of the Australian
    imagination. What I intend to discovber is if
    the composers are hoping to continue that
    Australian sense of adventure and exploration by
    creating such an advertisement. Are the
    composers trying to show that not all journeys
    have an ending by showing us that we can continue
    the adventure today by taking a train ride?
  • Grays poetry is also something that gives the
    reader the sense that journeys often have no
    endings. In his poem Late Ferry, Gray looks at
    the ways that a physical journey can often be a
    metaphor for an imaginative or inner jourmey. The
    persona of the

27
Example Answer Continued
  • Poem sits on a balcony watching a ferry leaving
    a jetty. As the persona describes the ferrys
    difficult journey is actually a metaphor for the
    difficult journey that the persona (and many of
    us!) experience in our lives. The poem is given
    quite a dark tone because of Grays use of dark
    imagery like dark water. The poem is left
    unresolved and I have to wonder if Gray is trying
    to imply that not all journeys have an ending and
    that perhaps the journey is a dark one.
  • Regards,
  • Felicity Castagna

28
Section TwoConsists of a creative response to
the concept of journeys
  • In order to do well in this section students
    should be obeying the following basic rules
  • 1.) Take the creative writing task seriously. It
    is worth 15 marks. Dont spend so much time on
    the other sections of your English exam that you
    only have ten minutes to write your creative
    piece. You are allotted 40 minutes to do this
    task, you should be taking 40 minutes.
  • 2.) Write at lest six to four pages just like you
    would if you were asked to write an essay.
  • 3.) Use the stimulus throughout your piece.

29
Basic Rules Continued
  • 4.) Take five minutes to brainstorm some ideas
    for your story before you begin. Write down four
    or five things that will happen in your story in
    the order that they happen, before you begin to
    write so that you have something to guide you.
    This will both serve to prompt you when you get
    stuck and to ensure that your story has
    structure.
  • 5.) Be descriptive. You need to give the
    responder a sense of your characters, their
    setting and their motivations by using detailed
    descriptions, filled with adjectives. If you
    dont use descriptions you will fall into the
    trap of simply recounting plot (Jimmy went to the
    store, and then he bought a can of coke, and then
    he drank the can of coke, and thenand thenand
    thenand then)
  • 6.) Use some literary techniques. By this point
    in your education you should know what a metaphor
    is, so why dont you just go ahead and use one in
    your own writing.

30
Section Two
  • HSC markers have consistently said that
    those students who got the highest marks in
    section two did the following things
  • They were able to use their creative pieces to
    talk about the fact that journeys have multiple
    levels. In other words, their stories were not
    just about a physical, an imaginative or an inner
    journey they were about a combination of at least
    two types of journeys.
  • They were able to clearly demonstrate that the
    process of going through a journey had an effect
    on the characters in their piece.
  • They used the stimulus that they were given
    throughout their stories and repeatedly referred
    back to it.
  • Their stories were not predictable. They were
    interesting and imaginative.
  • They stuck to the theme of journeys throughout
    their texts.

31
Example Questions Section Two
  • 1.) You have been given an opportunity to
    interview ONE of the composers/characters from
    Section 1.
  • Write the transcript of this interview where
    you discuss the significance of change in their
    lives, and relate their experiences to those of
    your own.
  • 2.)Use one of the following stimulus to write a
    bout a journey. Reflect on this journey in a
    series of journal entries the journey may be real
    or imagined.

32
Example Questions Section Two
  • 3.)A selection of students imaginative writing
    will be included in the 2005 HSC edition of the
    CD-ROM, The Journey.
  • Compose a piece of writing to contribute to
    ONE of these sections
  • Journeys in Time or Journeys of the Heart or
    Journeys across Landscapes.
  • 4.) You are entering a writing competition for
    young writers. The competition is called The
    journey. Use ONE of the following images as the
    basis for the beginning or ending of your story.
    You may write from any point of view you choose.

33
Example AnswerThis is an example answer to
question four
  • A Solider in my Bedroom
  • My mother begins to take a journey
  • In the beginning my mother dressed up as an Army
    Sargent from nine to five, Monday to Friday. In
    order to become an Army Sargent my mother took a
    toothbrush and combed her eyebrows upward to make
    them look larger. Next, she applied gel to her
    charcoal grey hair and slicked it back so that it
    sat on her head like a thick woollen hat. The
    last thing that she applied was perhaps the
    defining costume feature. It was a salad bowl
    from our kitchen that she painted army green,
    turned it upside down and slapped it on her head.
  • She did not require much more pruning. As far
    back as I can remember she has always been a
    thick-set woman with broad shoulders, big
    breasts, and thick legs like tree trunks. She
    had only to unhook her bra and she became a
    flat-cheasted woman with a sizable paunch, like a
    military leader that had given up caring.
  • My mother became an Army Sergeant in 1990 when we
    moved from Germany to Surfers Paradise. Surfers
    wasn't particularly a place that my mother was
    excited about moving to. In the brochures of the
    place it looked like the Las Vegas of the
    Southern Hemisphere, equipped with a beach that
    looked as unreal as the neon lights and cabaret
    dancers in the background. She preferred places
    like her hometown, B______ where everything was
    grey, ordered and efficient.
  • In her first few weeks of living here my mother
    could not remove herself from the balcony of our
    apartment. She felt both horrified and strangely
    attracted to the women who frequented the
    beaches. They were all top heavy with small
    waists and thin legs. She wondered how it was
    that they simply did not fall forward and land on
    their breasts.
  • In Germany people walk up and down the street in
    the evening, in order to socialise. They pause
    and chat and walk, not for the purpose of getting
    anywhere in particular, but rather for the
    purpose of seeing and being seen. In Surfers, it
    seemed to my mother, people walked for the
    purpose of finding some place to sit. They sat
    on deck chairs at the beach, they sat in front of
    poker machines, they sat at the all you can eat
    buffets. They sat for no reason at all and stared
    out into the distance.

34
  • It appeared to my mother that even the people who
    worked here spent rather too much time sitting,
    talking, not doing much. She could never quite
    bring herself to forgive the people of Surfers
    for the arrogance of their belief that they had a
    right to accomplish so little.
  • In the first few months my mother divided her
    time between sitting on the balcony and looking
    for employment. As a large box of a woman with a
    face like a brick wall it was very difficult for
    her to find employment in a town dominated by the
    hospitality industry. When the job came up at
    Henri's House de Wax it was perfect. Her job was
    to take the customers tickets as they came
    through the door and to ensure that no one
    touched the wax statues. The only catch was
    that she had to come to work dressed in costume.
  • My mother's choice of costume was a lot easier
    than you would think. On the way home from her
    interview she passed a magazine stand on which
    there was a copy of Time Magazine with the face
    of a young Army Sergeant, who was worn out and
    learning against a tree. His staunch defiant face
    caught her attention and she paused there in
    front of him to get a better look.
  • We all begin to take a journey
  • In the next few years our house began to change.
    Not so much change perhaps, but fill itself with
    a foreign presence. A picture of that Army
    Sargent leaning up against a tree went up on our
    fridge so that I had to watch him staring at me
    thoughtfully every time I got the milk for my
    breakfast cereal.
  • My mother seemed restless, inattentive, grappling
    with so many ideas in her head that she could not
    form simple sentences out of it all. She turned
    inward and neglected to speak for a rather long
    time although it was clear that in her mind there
    were rather lengthy arguments being conducted.
  • It was at this time that things really began to
    change in my mother. When she moved it was with
    a much stronger sense of authority than I had
    seen in her previously. She walked in a stiff
    almost solider-like march. She sat on the couch
    with her legs wide open as if there was something
    in that empty space that she did not want to
    crush.
  • There were days when she came home from work and
    did not bother getting changed out of her costume
    at all. She did not seem compelled to explain
    her behaviour and oddly enough we did not seem
    compelled to ask.
  • Later on, there came a day when I ceased thinking
    about her as my mother who dressed up like as a
    Sargent and simply began to think of her as
    Sargent. I am not the only one who began to
    think of her in this way, I am sure. She took on
    a new air of authority so that when she walked
    around our neighbourhood people took notice. The
    neighbour's kids no longer giggled at her funny
    accent, rather, they straightened up their bodies
    and stood in line as she passed.

35
  • The soldier leads a rebellion
  • On the fifth day of the strike my mother's face
    appeared on the front page of The Paradise
    Herald. She was standing in front of Henri's
    House de Wax as straight as a soldier guarding
    Buckingham palace. Outside the museum there was
    a line of confused tourists. The face of a
    little boy was staring up at my mother. My
    mother was staring back at him. Her face spoke a
    defiant no.
  • All twenty-two of Henri's employees went on
    strike for forty days. They sat on the steps of
    Henri's every day from nine to five holding
    placards, singing, cooking barbeques, laughing
    with their children and families. Tourists began
    to go to Henri's to see the strikers rather than
    the wax statues, so that the workers themselves
    became the exhibit.
  • It was my mother who led the crowd so that when
    the strikers became discouraged and hung their
    heads low, staring at the pavement, she would
    rouse their spirits with her speeches. The
    strikers applauded for her, workers in the
    neighbouring shops left their positions to listen
    to her speak, the tourists shook her hand and had
    their photos taken with her.
  • On the fortieth day of the strike Henri listened
    again as the soldier listed off the workers
    demands. He caved in slightly and agreed to give
    them a slight rise in wages and holiday pay on
    the condition that the soldier leave the museum
    and cease being their union leader. When the
    soldier put Henri's proposition to the workers
    they got up and left, went back to their homes
    and began the search for new employment. They
    could not, they said, turn their back on their
    leader.
  • Two months later the wax museum closed down.
    Henri could not find any new employees. No one
    in Surfers would work there even if he did pay
    higher wages. No one could explain why, they
    just remembered the photograph of Sargent leaning
    up against the building looking staunch and
    determined.
  • Henri sold all the wax statues at rock bottom
    prices. They turned up in all sorts of places
    around Surfers. Madonna and Michael Jackson took
    up residency in front of the poker machines at
    Crown Casino. Elvis helped sell chicken in front
    of Chucks Chicken Castle. Queen Elizabeth I was
    spotted at a foam party on South Beach.

36
  • Sargent journeys off elsewhere
  • Shortly after she led the workers revolution at
    the Wax Museum, Sargent left us. She did not
    take much with her, just her army greens, her
    cigars, a few pairs of underwear.
  • She sent me a postcard. I don't know where the
    stamp was from, I could not read the writing. It
    was not the kind of postcard one usually gets,
    with pictures of bridges and lakes and sunny
    landscapes. It was a picture of a grey building,
    standing firm and efficient, framed by a hazy
    blue-grey sky.
  • A Soldier in my bedroom
  • Years after she left I found the museum's wax
    statue of a soldier in a little second hand shop
    on Rose Street. The shop lady drove a hard
    bargain for the statue but when I told her that
    my mother was a Sargent she seemed to understand
    and sold it to me at a price I could afford.
  • I keep Sargent in the corner of my bedroom. I
    shine her shoes, dust off her uniform, tease her
    beard, stick a cigar between her fingers and kiss
    her cheek before I go to sleep at night. As I
    turn off the light in my bedroom and get
    underneath the covers I look over at her and she
    gives me a wink as I fall into sleep.

37

Answering a Question in Section Three
  • Step One Make sure that you answer the
    question. 
  • When you are writing a response to any question
    for your HSC the most important thing is that you
    answer the question. In order to answer the
    question you have to first be sure that you
    understand what the question means.
  • Sample Question 
  • The journey is more important than the arrival
  •  
  • How do the texts you have studied present the
    processes and results of the journey?
  •  

42
Step One Defining the Question
  • In order to begin to understand what the question
    is you need to first identify the important
    vocabulary in the question
  • For example
  •  The journey is more important than the arrival
  •  
  • How do the texts you have studied present the
    processes and results of the journey?
  • The question is asking you to concentrate on
    discussing the process of the journey. Although
    you might comment on what results from different
    characters journeys (for example, a greater sense
    of themselves, or the world around them) you need
    to concentrate on discussing the process of the
    journey not the end result.

43
Exercise
  • Directions Copy the following statement into
    your notebooks. Underline the important
    vocabulary. What is the question asking you to
    do?
  • The quest is a journey, a pursuit frequently of a
    form of self-enlightenment.
  • Metaphor 2004
  • Discuss this statement in light of the texts you
    have studied. You must refer to your core text,
    ONE text from your Board of Studies Stimulus
    Booklet, and at least two related texts of your
    own choosing.

Step Two Writing Introductions
  • A good introduction to an essay for this section
    must
  •  
  • Be a double barrel introduction. This
    means that it must contain two paragraphs.
  •  
  • -        The first introductory paragraph must
    define what a journey is and then define
    specifically what an inner journey is.
  • -        The second introductory paragraph must
    contain a thesis statement that both provides an
    argument and uses the language of the question.
    It then needs to outline your argument for the
    rest of the essay.
  •  

45
Example
  • Journey is a term that implies travel which
    offers new experiences. An inner journey involves
    the exploration of the self, as individuals
    review their growth and development in the light
    of experiences which challenge and inspire them.
  • The texts studied in this course clearly
    demonstrate that the journey is more important
    than the arrival. The texts Life is Beautiful
    by Roberto Benigni, The Road Less Traveled by
    Robert Frost, Post-Cards from Surfers by Helen
    Garner and The Red Tree by Shaun Tan all present
    the processes of the journey as being more
    important than the results. The composers shape
    meaning about the importance of the journey
    through their use of various techniques such as
    pace, sound and imagery.

46
Step Three Structure
  • Space
  • You will be asked to write about four texts
    Life is Beautiful, one stimulus booklet text
    and 2 related texts. As Life is Beautiful is
    your core text you need to dedicate most of your
    essay to it. About half your essay should be
    dedicated to discussing Life is Beautiful. The
    other half should be dedicated to your other
    three texts.

47
Step Four Structure
  • Each paragraph of your response must contain
  • A topic sentence
  • Evidence to support your topic sentance
