Study notes for Requiem for a beast [electronic resource]
Hachette Livre Australia, NSW, 2007
ISBN none [A823]
These sophisticated study notes comprehensively support Ottley’s award winning, multimedia text. Requiem for a beast encompasses a range of formats and it boldly and successfully pushes the boundaries of young adult fiction. Focussing on the salient aspects, the study notes consider the narrative voices, themes, illustrations, music and stylistic features incorporated in the work. Clearly presented diagrams deconstruct visual features of the text, offering the reader detailed and informative signposts for reading the pictures. These would work well on an IWB. The resource teaches and challenges readers to engage with the book at a substantial and academic level, and is a most worthwhile adjunct to this outstanding and innovative narrative. The notes will be very useful for the study of Requiem for a beast within the English Stage 6 Area of study: Belonging. The notes can be purchased as a PDF download from Ottley’s website. C. Sly
