Unit 1 Overview

In Unit 1 of VM Literacy students work through the areas of study 'Literacy for personal use' and 'Understanding and creating digital texts'.

Literacy for personal use

In this area of study students will develop their reading and viewing skills and expand their responses beyond the Victorian Curriculum F-10: English, Victorian Pathways Certificate: Literacy and EAL Pathway C (Level 3). This area of study focuses on the structures and features of a range of texts - print, visual and film - and the personal reasons readers may have for engaging with these texts. Students will read or watch a variety of texts for a personal purpose, such as finding information. Texts should be chosen from a range of local and global perspectives, including First Nations peoples' and multicultural perspectives, and should include film, TV, online videos, song, poetry, biographies and digital content, and other texts of interest to the cohort. Through discussions and class activities students will develop their understanding of the structures and features of these text types, and examine how they are influenced by purpose, context, audience and culture.
