Introduction

This unit explores how individuals fit into the world in terms of friends, family, and community members. The essential focus will be on how those immediately around us affect our attitudes, behaviours, and sometimes our actions.

Your understanding of text will evolve when you consider it from personal, moral, ethical, and cultural perspectives. Personal experiences and prior knowledge influence significantly how we attempt to understand the complexities of our world and the texts we study.

Becoming a lifelong learner will help you understand and appreciate texts around you, and it will encourage you to experiment with creating texts of your own.
