“Curiosity must accompany us on our learning

  • journey. We need a sense of wonder to keep us

pushing deeper, anticipating what might lie around the next corner – whether it is a talking toadstool or new knowledge on the next page of a

  • book. A curious mind delights in answers it finds.

It anticipates learning something new or getting to the bottom of a nagging question. A curious mind is addicted to learning.”

Goodwin et al., 2018. How Curiosity, Peer Coaching, and Teaming Can Change Your School.

Interpretive Texts Discursive Texts Expository Texts

A Brief History of Interpretive Texts

  • “Meant to explain”, the adjective interpretive dates back

to the 1560s, from the past participle stem of the Latin word interpretati, meaning to “explain, compound and understand.”

  • Defined in the ATAR English syllabus as “texts whose

primary purpose is to explain and interpret personalities, events, ideas, representations or concepts.”

  • These classifications are intended to be general, not

“static or discrete.”

Contemporary Memoirs

“The best ones are not narcissistic recounting of triviality, nor a text version of reality TV, but rather an honest unfolding of human struggles and triumphs, from which important lessons are learned and preserved, experiences are braided together in the cord of lived experience.”
