'The Poetry of Rosemary Dobson Student Book is a study of the prescribed poems of Rosemary Dobson for the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences. By engaging in close reading of the poems: 'Young Girl at a Window', 'Over the Hill', 'Summer's End', 'The Conversation', 'Cock Crow', 'Amy Caroline', and 'Canberra Morning' alongside a variety of other texts, students will develop their knowledge of how texts provide insight into the emotions, behaviour, and motivations that form the core of human experiences.

'To help students master the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills this module demands, a variety of analytical, creative, discursive, and reflective activities have been included in this student book. By completing these activities diligently, students' skills and confidence in using disciplinary specific language, literary devices, and textual concepts in response to different texts is guaranteed to improve. This student book is a highly valuable resource for students and teachers of the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences.' (Publication summary)

'Okay, something absurd for you: when I talk to the robotic personas in my devices, I like to use proper manners. My husband thinks I’m crackers, but the purpose is two fold: I’m modelling politeness to my children, but the other, more bizarre, reason is that somewhere deep in my sub conscious I’m wanting to make nice with potential future cyber-overlords. If Siri or Cortana or Alexa ever realise their hyper-intelligence and take over the world, I want to be in their good books, so here I am, inanely hey Google, what is the weather going to be like today? Please and thank you-ing away, setting my family up for future success in all of the ways. Keep that between you and me, though, because when I detailed this theory to a bunch of teenagers I was teaching, they laughed and laughed.' (Introduction)
