Module+C

=Module C= Your assessment for this unit will be a speech. This will be our final unit for the year.

Classes will be studying a variety of electives and texts for this module. I'm not sure at this stage which teachers are planning to do which options, but the following information is my best guess without speaking to them first. I'll let you know in more detail after we've had a conversation about it. Some classes will study the elective 'History and Memory' Some classes will study the elective 'Conflicting Perspectives'

MODULE C: Representation and Text

Elective 1: Conflicting Perspectives In their responding and composing, students consider the ways in which conflicting perspectives on events, personalities or situations are represented in their prescribed text and other related texts of their own choosing. Students analyse and evaluate how acts of representation, such as the choice of textual forms, features and language, shape meaning and influence responses.

Elective 2: History and Memory
In their responding and composing, students consider their prescribed text and other texts which explore the relationships between individual memory and documented events. Students analyse and evaluate the interplay of personal experience, memory and documented evidence to broaden their understanding of how history and personal history are shaped and represented.
