Outcome 2 Creating and Presenting: Identity and Belonging Outcome 3 Using Language to Persuade: Oral presentation
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.

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: Exploring issues of identity and belonging THE SET TEXT: 'Growing Up Asian in Australia'
THE PROMPT: Our identities influence our connections to the world

Mooroopna Secondary College VCE English Context Oral Presentation

You are to present a talk to the class on a selected issue given the following guidelines:
NB: This is a Context piece. Your presentation must: Consider the Context Draw from the set text Address the prompt

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.

Context: Exploring issues of identity and belonging Set text: Growing Up Asian in Australia Prompt: Our identities influence our connections to the world

Some possible ideas for your oral presentation:

A monologue
A speech

E.g., Drawing inspiration from Anzac Day by James Chong, write up the transcript for a Q and A style discussion show where panellists argue their positions on what it means to be true blue. Considering the poem The Family Tree by Ken Chau, create a speech that outlines discrimination against women in a society and how this is unfair. Making links to Chinese Lessons by Ivy Tseng, write a play where the narrative outlines why it is important to learn about cultures you are connected to. In your play incorporate repetition, as Tseng does in his story.

An interview A letter A panel Script

A radio transcript Debate Talk show Play
