Year+10

=Shaking it up at Year 10!= Let's discuss new ideas for Year 10 2011

Into the Wild (or Film Text of choice) || Creative folio exploring theme using a range of media - must include a feature article || Creation of an argument and persuasive text Analysis of how language is used to persuade || Second text of choice || Creative folio exploring prompts related to a theme. Include a Multi Media text (see noughts and crosses page) (or context) || Issues text analysis Creation of persuasive text ||
 * Presently:**
 * || **Text** || **Creative** || **Issues** ||
 * Semester 1 || Leunig - Goatperson and Other Tales
 * Semester 2 || Noughts and Crosses
 * **Semester 2 - PACE** || Preparation for VCAL and work-based literacy ||  ||   ||
 * Notes: students only formally study one novel at present at year 10


 * Proposed:**

Film text, eg: Into the Wild || Creative folio exploring theme using a range of media - must include a feature article || Leunig - Goatperson and Other Tales: used to support the power of persuasion and language analysis || Second text of choice || Creative folio exploring prompts related to a theme (or context) || Language analysis / issues text analysis Creation of persuasive text || Film text, eg: Into the Wild || Use of text to draw on and respond to ideas related to a context: Conflict Possible Text: District 9 || Analysis of language - with a focus on function and vocabulary expansion Creation of an argument - with a focus on logical expansion and development of ideas || Film text, eg: The Black Balloon (A) || Use of text to draw on and respond to ideas related to a context: Conflict Possible Text: short stories and picture books?? (The Rabbits / The Arrival) || Analysis of language - with a focus on function and vocabulary expansion Creation of an argument - with a focus on logical expansion and development of ideas ||
 * **Mainstream English** || **Text** || **Creative** || **Issues** ||
 * Semester 1 || Novel text, eg: Deadly, Unna? or Swerve
 * Semester 2 || Noughts and Crosses
 * **Intermediate English** || **Models and provides templates for discussion and analysis of text** || **Models and provides templates for determined text types to create own text** || **Models and provides templates for language analysis and using language to persuade** ||
 * Semester 1 || Novel text, eg: Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
 * Semester 2 || Novel text, eg: ?? something crime
 * **Semester 2 - PACE** || Preparation for VCAL and work-based literacy ||  ||   ||
 * The thinking behind this is that most students would do mainstream English; students wanting to find an alternate pathway and move into VCAL would do PACE and from there are not able to go on to VCE English; while it is envisaged that Intermediate English is for those students who want to go on and do VCE but need assistance with functional skills, Intermediate English would replace their regular English - these students would be identified by current English teachers. The course outline is open to discussion, one idea is that the IE course is structured much like year 11 English, but taught with explicit focus on skills.
