The Truman Show Student Book engages students in an enjoyable and detailed study of Peter Weir’s highly acclaimed film for the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Standard Module B: Close Study of Literature. It has been designed to improve detailed and informed knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the film as a literary text. In order to develop their own considered personal response to The Truman Show, students will engage in a variety of activities that require them to respond to the film in both critical and creative ways. This includes tasks that require students to compose in the imaginative, persuasive, and discursive styles of writing. By working their way through the different activities in this student book, students will improve their understanding of: the content of the film, the ideas and issues Peter Weir encourages audiences to think about, the cinematic features of the film, and the way it has been structured. Students will also learn how to support their judgements about the film using detailed knowledge of language features and textual form.
