be required to write one extended response to one text selected
for study. There will be two topics for each text. Each topic
will enable and require students to address the full range of

students to develop their sustained discussion from an initial
focus on one of the following aspects of key knowledge for Units
3 and 4, Outcome 1:
• the ideas, characters and themes constructed by the author/director
and presented in the selected text; or
• the way the author/director uses structures, features
and conventions to construct meaning; or
• the ways in which authors/directors express or imply
a point of view and values;

range of key knowledge and skills, and to be supported by detailed
analysis and reference to the selected text. |
