Rubric from Prescriptions Module C: Texts and SocietyThis module requires students to explore and analyse texts around a specific social context. It assists in students’ understanding of the ways that texts communicate information, ideas, bodies of knowledge, attitudes and belief systems in ways particular to specific areas of society.Students explore the role of textual features in the shaping of meaning in specific contents. They develop communication skills necessary for a wide variety of personal, social, historical, cultural and workplace contexts. Composition focuses on analysing and experimenting with textual forms characteristic of the specific contexts. These compositions may be realised on a variety of forms and media.Elective 2: Into the WorldIn this elective, students explore a variety of texts that deal with aspects of growing up or transition into new phases of life and a broader world. People encounter different experiences and respond to them individually. These personal experiences may result in growth, change or other consequences. Students respond to and compose a range of texts that illustrate different pathways into new experiences. They examine the features of texts that shape our knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about individual venturing into new experiences. |
