English Unit 1  \nEach week, there’s a cover sheet that outlines what the week’s topics will be  \nWeek 1  \nOverview of English Year 11 Units 1 & 2  \nArea of Study 1: Reading & Responding  \nReading text: George Orwell’s “Nineteen eighty-four”Predicting text: Larry Watson’s “Montana 1948”( prologue)  \nHOMEWORK BONUS MATERIAL: Revision Worksheets Week 1 of 4 Audience & purpose Formal/informal language and tone Solutions from last week’s revision worksheet  \n[VCE English Unit 1 Week 1 : Key points of Units 1 & 2]  \nWhat you need to know about VCE English Units 1 & 2  \nThis sequence of study is undertaken in year 11 and studied over two semesters in one academic year. The NQT VCE English programme seeks to prepare you for what you may study in English and equip you with the appropriate skills required in English Units 1 & 2 as well as prepare you for year 12 English study.  \nOverview of English Units 1 & 2  \nEnglish students  \nYou will read and study at least four set texts. The texts are selected by your school.  \nFor the achievement of Outcome 1 in each unit, you will read and study at least one set text. For the achievement of Outcome 2 in each unit, you will read and study at least one set text or its equivalent in a collection of shorter set texts. At least one set text in each unit should be an imaginative print text such as a novel, a play or a collection of short stories or poetry.  \nAt least one of the set texts may be a lm text. At least one of the set texts must be by an Australian or about Australians.  \nUnit 1  \nThe focus of this unit is on the reading of a range of texts, particularly narrative and persuasive texts, in order to comprehend, appreciate and analyse the ways in which texts are constructed and interpreted. You will develop competence and con dence in creating written, oral and multi modal texts.  \nUnit 2  \nThe focus of this unit is on reading and responding to an expanded range of text types and genres in order to analyse ways in which they are constructed and interpreted, and on the development of competence and con dence in creating written, oral or multi modal texts. The term ‘set text’ refers to texts chosen by the school for the achievement of Outcomes 1 and 2.  \nLevels of Achievement  \nUnits 1 and 2  \nThe ways in which your work in Units 1 & 2 English are assessed will be up to your school and this is usually in the form of school assessed tasks which are graded, as well as possible end of semester examinations internally assessed using year 12 English criteria.  \n\n| List the texts you are studying in English in Unit 1 and/or 2: | \u003Cbr>At the commencement of each semester, there’s an outline of the Unit’s key areas of study, as in line with VCAA Study Designs. |\n| --- | --- |\n\n2 Copyright-The information and materials on this worksheet are copyright © NQ Corp Pty Ltd  \n [VCE English Unit 1 Week 1 : Key points of Units 1 & 2]  \nArea of Study 1 – Reading and responding  \nOutcome 1  \nOn completion of this unit the student should be able to discuss and analyse how texts convey ways of thinking about the characters, ideas and themes, and construct a response in oral or written form.  \n\n| There is NO set text list that students studying VCE English Units 1 & 2 must study (unlike in year 12 where Unit 3 & 4 texts are prescribed by VCAA). However, all year 11 texts are usually chosen from former year 12 book lists – this is done to prepare you for the types of texts and exam questions you’re likely to encounter in units 3 & 4. The following list of English texts are popular ones studied across Victorian schools and you are likely to be studying at least one of these at your school.
