understand how to move beyond making bare assertions by taking account of differing ideas or opinions and authoritative sources (AC9E5LA02)

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 said 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, “Reviewers for The Reel Film stated that it is the best film this year.”) and reflecting on the effect of these different choices
