Unit 1-4 English Simonds Catholic College 2012-2013 Name: _____________________ Contents
Course Overview In VCE English you are expected to complete two major assessments on media issues per semester in Unit 1 and 2 (year 11) and one in Unit 3 (year 12). Language Analysis: you will be asked to complete an analysis of how language (both visual and verbal) are used by writers to persuade readers or viewers. Oral Presentation: you will be asked to present a reasoned point of view (oral and/or written), in which you advance an argument either in support of or against a current issue in the media. Outcomes are graded as follows, and your total score out of 40 for each semester goes towards your overall semester score out of 100.
In Unit 4 (year 12), there is no SAC for the Using Language to Persuade outcome. Instead you are required to complete a Language Analysis in your subject examination. Area of Study 3 – VCAA Study Design Using language to persuade The focus of this area of study is on the use of language in the presentation of a point of view. Students read texts the main purpose of which is to persuade readers and viewers to share a particular point of view. Texts could be print, non-print and multimodal, for example, editorials, letters to the editor, opinion columns, essays, reviews, speeches, segments from radio programs, CD-ROMs, television, newspaper or magazine advertisements, cartoons, documentaries, e-zines and websites. Students identify and discuss how language, verbal and non-verbal (including visual), is used in the chosen texts to position readers and viewers in particular ways. For example, students identify the use in these texts of persuasive techniques such as use of repetition, sound effects (including music), association, colour, symbols, gestures, emotive appeals, logical appeals, active and passive voice, and omission and vocabulary choice, and discuss their intended effect on the reader or viewer. Outcome 3 On completion of this unit the student should be able to identify and discuss, either in writing and/or orally, how language can be used to persuade readers and/or viewers. To achieve this outcome the student will draw on knowledge and related skills outlined in area of study 3. Key knowledge This knowledge includes • an understanding of points of view presented in texts whose purpose is to persuade; • how texts work to influence readers; • examples of verbal and non-verbal (including visual) language used by authors of texts to persuade readers and viewers to share the point/s of view presented; • appropriate metalanguage to discuss how language is designed to position readers and viewers; • strategies for planning and revising for coherence of form, language, structure, audience and context; • conventions of small group and whole class discussion, including ways of developing constructive interactions and building on ideas of others; • the conventions of spelling, punctuation and syntax of Standard Australian English.
These skills include the ability to • identify examples of verbal and non-verbal (including visual) language used by the authors of texts to persuade readers and viewers to share a point of view; • use appropriate metalanguage to discuss how the use of language in a persuasive text is designed to position readers and viewers; • plan and revise for coherence of form, language, structure, audience and context; • listen actively and respond constructively to others’ views during discussion; • use the conventions of spelling, punctuation and syntax of Standard Australian English.
Work related to the outcomes will be accepted only if the teacher can attest that, to the best of their knowledge, all unacknowledged work is the student’s own. Teachers refer to the current year’s VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook for authentication procedures.
