Learning Outcomes (General Capabilities)

The Learning Outcomes for your research on protest poetry (normal font is for your teacher, italics are for you) are:

Literacy

  • listen thoughtfully to a range of extended spoken texts, using knowledge of text purpose to interpret and evaluate ideas, information and opinions - listen to / watch a lot of protest poetry and evaluate the ideas and opinions presented
  • comprehend and compose innovative texts that use structures and features of learning area texts in complex and resourceful ways, using conventions for citing others - you're focused on comprehending the purpose of each poem - what is their message?

Critical and creative thinking

  • give reasons to support their own thinking, show awareness of opposing viewpoints and possible weaknesses in their own positions - reading protest poetry will hopefully make you highly aware of opposing viewpoints

Personal and social capability

  • demonstrate deepening understandings of their emotional responses in a range of learning and social situations - the poems you read / view / listen to will emotionally challenge you

Ethical behaviour

  • identify ethical obligations and justify the need for these to be enacted - the poems you read / view / listen to will have strong political / social / moral (etc) undercurrents that will help you identify your ethical obligations as a human being

These learning outcomes come directly from the Australian Curriculum General Capabilities and focus on where Year 10s need to be on the learning continuum.
