Literary Traditions and INTERTEXTUALITY
This fully editable resource explores literary traditions with a major focus on INTERTEXTUALITY. It's designed for years 12 and 13 (grades 11 and 12).
It provides clear definitions and explanations, and scaffolds students through their understanding of the literary traditions and intertextuality with carefully sequenced activities. Students are encouraged to think of intertextuality as a text's heritage/whakapapa. Activities approach intertextuality from different angles and require the use of different skills (discussion, presentation, visual depiction, note-taking...). At the end, we provide phrases and examples to help students discuss intertextuality in essays/reports.

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair we think! Let's help each other out. :)
