Curriculum content descriptions
Present ideas, findings, viewpoints, explanations and conclusions in a range of texts and modes that incorporate source materials, citations, graphic representations and discipline-specific terms, conventions and concepts (ACHASSI163)
Elaborations
- communicating findings, predictions, opinions, decisions, judgements and conclusions, using text types (for example, reports, persuasive essays, reasoned arguments, explanations) selected to suit the purpose and the intended audience
- citing sources of evidence (for example, archaeological relics and written accounts) in their texts
- using graphic representations (such as graphs, tables, spreadsheets and photographs) to present, supplement and clarify information contained in reports and other documents
- using digital technologies to create multimedia presentations (for example, to show the specific features of an ancient battle, pyramid complex or burial site; to show the spatial distribution and patterns of liveability; to present a case for a constitutional change)
- using correct discipline-specific terms and concepts when presenting findings and conclusions (for example, when explaining the rule of law, separation of powers, secular nation, market, workforce, income, financial objectives, entrepreneurial behaviours and skills, costs and benefits)
