VM Literacy VCE Units 3 & 4 Practice Question 6b – Elements of oral communication

Q6b VM Literacy Elements of oral communication Unit 4 - Area Of Study 2

You are a student representative on a planning group that is deciding whether your school should introduce a “phone-free learning time” policy during lessons (phones kept in lockers or locked pouches). At a lunchtime forum, you will give a 2-minute oral presentation to advise students and advocate for your position.

During a rehearsal, your teacher observes the following about your delivery:

  • You read mostly from your notes on a laptop and only look up occasionally.
  • Your voice is clear but stays at the same volume and pace throughout.
  • When you are nervous, you fold your arms and rock slightly from side to side.
  • You use the same “end-of-sentence” voice pattern even when you move to a new point.

A classmate gives you feedback that some students in the audience may disagree strongly, and that the forum will include questions from the floor.

Unit 4 Overview

In Unit 4 of VM Literacy students work through the areas of study 'Understanding and engaging with literacy for advocacy' and 'Speaking to advise or to advocate'.

Speaking to advise or to advocate

In this area of study students will use their knowledge and understanding of language, context and audience to complete an oral presentation that showcases their learning. The presentation needs to be developed in consultation with the teacher and should focus on an area of student interest with a clearly stated vocational or personal focus. Students are encouraged to connect this area of study to their learning in Unit 4 of either Work Related Skills or Personal Development Skills. If students are not undertaking either of these studies, they may select an option from either of the two outlined below: Literacy for civic participation or Literacy for everyday contexts. On completion of this unit the student should be able to negotiate the topic of choice for, and complete, an oral presentation that showcases reflections and evaluations of student learning.
