'Orbital' — Additional Resources
This Additional Resources pack complements the Lesson Ready unit on Orbital by Samantha Harvey (VCE English and EAL).
The comprehensive First Reading Questions guide students through the complete novel, from 'Orbit minus 1' to 'Orbit 16'. The chapter tasks help students consolidate their understanding of significant events, characters, relationships, memories and reflections. They also encourage students to begin considering Harvey’s key ideas about Earth, time, mortality, human connection, progress and humanity’s place in the universe. A detailed sample-answer version supports class discussion, review and close study of the novel.
The pack also includes sample essay topics that can be used for analytical writing practice, assessment preparation or revision.
Resources are fully editable and can be used at different stages of the unit. NOTE: These additional resources are also included in the 'Orbital' complete unit.
