Limetown Student Book (Year 11 Standard Module A)

Limetown: Podcast (Season 1) Student Book engages students in an enjoyable and detailed study of Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie's fictional podcast, Limetown. It has been designed to fulfil the requirements of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 11 Standard Module A: Contemporary Possibilities.

In this study, students explore the ways Limetown uses the podcast form to communicate complex ideas, issues, and experiences to global audiences. Through immersion in the world of Limetown - a story that follows the mysterious disappearance of over 300 people who were participating in top secret neuroscientific research -students will develop their understanding of contemporary ethical issues and their knowledge of how digital texts represent and communicate human experiences.

They will also have the opportunity to grapple with the impact of innovative storytelling methods on those implicated in the events depicted in the podcast and on members of the listening public who become invested in the story.

This book is a highly valuable resource for students and teachers of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 11 Standard Module A: Contemporary Possibilities. It includes:

• Engaging classroom activities to develop skills in analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of texts.
• Texts regarded as quality literature.
• Texts that represent a variety of cultural, social, and gender perspectives.
