Students have the opportunity to experience, engage with, critique and create literary and other texts in print, spoken, visual and electronic forms, with a particular focus on recounts and historical narratives. The texts may depict events, individuals, communities and/or the workplace in factual or imaginative ways, and may include extended texts, for example novels, biographies, autobiographies, films and plays, as well as other texts, for example artworks, poems, picture books, speeches, films, oral stories, obituaries, media texts and workplace and community texts. Through engaging in the learning opportunities that this module offers, students develop their skills in comprehending and responding to texts, and develop their abilities to use language imaginatively, expressively and purposefully. By creating a range of responses to the texts studied students develop a stronger understanding of the power of language to communicate their ideas effectively and learn about the importance of using vocabulary, register and modality appropriately. Opportunities to plan, proofread and edit their work help students develop greater control of spelling, punctuation, syntax and grammar.
