Lachlan Access Program

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. | AssessmentListening Task 15% Due Term 3 Week 2HSC Yearly Trial exams 5% Term 3 Week5-6| Syllabus outcomes A student demonstrates understanding of how relationships between composer, responder, text and context shape meaning 2.

Rationale for approach used in this teaching program————————————————- ————————————————- ————————————————- It is assumed that students have completed a reading of the novel prior to the beginning of this study. As such, the module begins with a focus on the students’ initial and emotive responses to the text and their understanding of the issues that it raises. This then provides the reference point for a clearer understanding of the syllabus requirements for this module and elective. ———————————————— ————————————————- ————————————————- A variety of individual and group tasks allow for deeper exploration of the relevant issues and a close analysis of the text is undertaken to look more carefully at the text’s form, features and structures and how these elements shape our knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about the responses of individuals to new experiences and to change. ————————————————- ————————————————- ———————————————— The study of the prescribed text is supplemented with analysis and discussion of related texts, specifically in revision of the texts studied in the Preliminary ‘Life Experience’ module (ABC TV mini-series Marking Time, TV and magazine advertisements Notes from the ‘In the Driver’s Seat’ RTA resource). Students are to further supplement their study with a related text of their own choosing. ————————————————- ————————————————- ————————————————-
