WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
Students will develop their confidence to deal
with a range of technical content that they will
encounter throughout adulthood, such as
safety reports, public health initiatives, tax
forms and advice, contracts, promotional
videos and vocational and workplace texts.
Students read and respond to a variety of
technical content from a vocational, workplace
or organisational settings and will be able to
create organisational, informational and
procedural texts that reflect a specific
workplace or vocational experience.
Students will read, discuss, analyse and
create texts that influence or advocate for self,
a product or a community group of the
student’s choice. They will negotiate the topic
of choice for, and complete, an oral
presentation that showcases reflections and
evaluations of student learning. They explore
the elements important for creating a ‘brand’
(including personal branding) and how
different texts, images, products and
multimedia platforms work together to
produce one, central message to influence an
audience.
