Curriculum content descriptions

Understand how to move beyond making bare assertions and take account of differing perspectives and points of view (ACELA1502)

Elaborations
  • recognising that a bare assertion (for example Its the best film this year) often needs to be tempered by: using the impersonal it to distance oneself (for example It could be that it is the best film this year); recruiting anonymous support (for example It is generally agreed that it is the best film this year.); indicating a general source of the opinion (for example Most critics agree that it is the best film this year.); specifying the source of the opinion (for example David and Margaret both agree that it is the best film this year) and reflecting on the effect of these different choices
