What students learn in AC9E10LY03
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of Analyse and evaluate how language features are used to implicitly.... The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.
- Start with the main idea: analyse and evaluate how language features are used to implicitly or explicitly represent values, beliefs and attitudes.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- analysing social or political cartoons to identify the implicit and explicit values, beliefs and attitudes expressed
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
