“We must contemplate the import of ignoring the printed word. If you cannot read, you can do only what you are told.” Joseph P. Bean
Overview
Students analyse and explain how language features and structures, images and vocabulary are used to represent ideas, characters and events. They write for a range of purposes and audiences, selecting appropriate genre, form and structure. They learn to communicate clearly, audibly and with expression in different contexts including planning and delivering an organised presentation. Students understand that God calls us to be responsible for making wise choices with our words and use them to build others up. They contribute relevant ideas and opinions when engaging with their peers, while building on the contributions of others by actively listening and contributing to discussions, clarifying context, challenging the ideas of others, and making presentations using multimodal elements for defined purposes and audiences. Students will deepen their understanding on how text structures can achieve particular outcomes and will can analyse and explain how language features, images and vocabulary are used in different ways by different authors, comparing and analysing information in different texts, explaining literal and implied meaning.
