Focus:

This course aims to build on and develop the student’s oral and written language, reading comprehension and analytical skills, in keeping with the Victorian Curriculum and as a basis for VCE study. Students compare, evaluate and critically respond to complex themes and issues that are presented within a variety of written, multimodal, literary, everyday and spoken texts. There is a focus on the purposes for which writing is created and knowledge and use of text forms and structures is extended. Students explore ways of using multimodal texts to enhance visual and verbal communication and the impact this has on their audience.

Assessment Tasks:

Students will be assessed on their responses to set texts, oral presentations, writing tasks and issues/media analysis.

A dictionary is strongly recommended.
