It contains four independent resources, Worlds united, Worlds apart, Worlds collide and Worlds beyond. Each part has three texts to help students examine and explore the area of study concept. There is help with developing a related text folio, a suggested related texts list, essay writing models and scaffolds. Texts used include short film documentary, performance poetry, video, poetry, cartoons, photographs and a speech.
