Outcome 2 Creating and Presenting: Understanding Self and Place

Outcome 3 Using Language to Persuade: Oral presentation








THE CREATING AND PRESENTING AOS EXPLAINED:


The Creating and Presenting Area of Study asks you to do three things when you create pieces of
writing. They are:

1. Consider the Context you have been given, make sure it is evident in the piece you create
2. Draw from the text that is set for you to use as an inspiration for ideas and model of writing
3. Address the prompt you are presented with, use it to shape your piece

When you develop your oral presentation make sure that it links to each of these criteria
requirements:

THE CONTEXT: Understanding Self
and Place
THE SET TEXT: 'Growing Up Asian in
Australia'
THE PROMPT: Who we are influences our
connections to the world
Welcome to your VCE Context and point of view oral presentations introductory study
activity. This activity combines two outcomes areas to maximise skills development.

Student S/N Assessment Task: Present orally and in writing, a sustained and reasoned point
of view on a selected issue that considers the context, draws from the set text and addresses the
prompt.

Context Oral Presentation


















You are to present a talk to the class on a selected issue given the following guidelines:






Your talk should be approximately 6-8 minutes in length (no more than 10 and no
less than 5 minutes long).
You should have a clear contention.
Your talk should have depth and detail to demonstrate your knowledge and insight
into the context.
You must use persuasive techniques!!!
Your talk can be individual or can be in pairs or small groups. If you choose a group
approach you must adjust the time accordingly.
You must reference the sources of any evidence you use or refer to them in an
accurate bibliography that must be handed in with your notes.
You can use technology to aid you. This might include videos, YouTube, news
footage, etc., but this element should not take up the entire time of your talk and
must be appropriate.
