You are part of a student team advocating for a new lunchtime “Tech Help Desk” at your school. The team plans to post a short message on the school’s learning platform to encourage students to sign up as volunteers and to reassure students who want help that the service is friendly and safe.
A draft post has been written quickly and contains errors in punctuation, sentence structure, paragraphing and spelling:
“Need help with youre laptop or phone come to the tech help desk at lunchtime. we fix logins, printing and apps and we can show you how to stay safe online, its free and confidential.
Volunteers needed bring youre own device if you can, no experience required we will train you. Sign up by friday 3pm in the library or email Mr Lee, dont miss out”
Extract four different convention errors from the draft (for example: punctuation, sentence structure, paragraphing, spelling). For each one, write the incorrect version exactly as it appears and then write a corrected version.

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'.
In this area of study students will investigate, analyse and create content for the advocacy of self, a product or a community group of the student's choice, in a vocational or recreational setting. Students will research the differences between texts used for more formal or traditional types of advocacy, influence or promotion, as well as some of the forms that are increasingly being used in the digital domain for publicity and exposure. Students will consider which elements are important for creating a ‘brand' (including personal branding) and how different texts, images, products and multimedia platforms work together to produce one, central message to influence an audience. Students will compare and contrast the ways in which same message can be presented through different platforms and participate in discussions that consider the effectiveness of these messages, considering their purpose and the social and workplace values associated with them.
