  16. Introduction to HSC EXT. 1: • Module B: Texts and WaYs of ThinkingElective 3: Navigating the Global • In the late 20th century and early 21st century, the development towards a global culture has blurred traditional concepts and boundaries of time and space. • Knowledge, values and culture have become at once global and local through the globalisation of communications.

  17. Introduction to Elective 3: Navigating the Global • Choice and circumstance have created a range of individual and community responses to this changing reality: some have embraced or warily accepted it, while others have challenged or retreated from it. • The ideas, language forms, features and structures of texts may reflect or challenge ways of thinking during this period.

  18. In this elective, students are required to study at least three of the prescribed texts • Two of which must be print texts,as well as other texts of your own choosing. • In your responding and composing you will explore, analyse, experiment with and critically evaluate their prescribed texts and a range of other appropriate examples. • Texts should be drawn from a range of contexts and media and should reflect the relationships between the global and the local and the significance of these relationships to the life of the individual and their community.
