Lit Happens Ep 12: Walking Against the Grain - Crafting Stories with The Pedestrian

Tune in to Lit Happens, where we - two passionate HSC English educators - guide you through Standard English Module C: The Craft of Writing, with a focus on Ray Bradbury’s thought-provoking short story, The Pedestrian. In this episode, we explore how Bradbury’s narrative challenges conformity and celebrates individuality, analyse the language techniques and forms that shape its powerful message, and provide practical strategies for students to create their own imaginative, discursive, or persuasive pieces inspired by the text. Tailored for educators seeking to spark creativity in the classroom and students aiming to refine their writing craft, this episode will help you harness The Pedestrian’s themes to compose compelling responses that reflect your unique voice.
