VCE VM – Literacy (Units 1 & 2)
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
SATISFACTORY COMPLETION
Literacy focuses on the development of the knowledge and skills required to be literate in Australia today. Literacy empowers students to read, write, speak, listen and to understand the different ways in which knowledge and opinion are represented and developed – including print, visual and film – and the personal reasons readers may have for engaging with these texts. Students build on their digital literacy skills through developing their capacity to critically assess digital texts, including webpages for vocational and workplace settings, podcasts and social media. Students will engage with issues that are characterised by disagreement and discussion, developing their abilities to consider the values and beliefs that underpin different perspectives and how these values create different biases and opinions, including thinking about how these issues might arise in particular vocational or workplace settings. Students will practise note-taking and responding to short-answer questions as well as formulating their own oral and written opinions. They will be able to interpret the values and opinions of others and present in oral form points of view supported by evidence.
Demonstrated achievement of the set of outcomes specified for each unit. On completion of unit 1 students should be able to demonstrate understanding of how text types are constructed for different purposes, audiences through a range of written, digital, oral and visual responses.
