A student must ensure that all work submitted for assessment is genuinely his or her own. A student must not receive undue assistance from any other person in the preparation and submission of work. Unacceptable forms of assistance include use of, or copying of, another person s work or other resources without acknowledgment. A student who knowingly assists other students is a breach of rules and may be penalized. Redeeming outcomes: submitting further work If a student s work does not meet the required standard for the assessment of an outcome, the teacher may allow a student to submit further work to meet satisfactory completion requirements of the unit, but a student may not submit further tasks for the reconsideration of School-assessed Coursework scores awarded by the VSL. The VCAA advises students that their total school-assessed coursework scores may change following statistical moderation. 7. External Examinations GAT (General Achievement Test) All VCE students enrolled in Unit 3 and 4 LOTE are required to sit the General Achievement Test. Information regarding this test is available from home schools. Oral and Written LOTE Examinations Students must present for the examinations at the designated date, time and venue. Students will receive individual examination notification from the VCAA via their home (day) school.

The written examination timetable is available on the VCAA website. 8. Special Examination Arrangements Students with significant health impairment, physical disability, hearing or visual impairment, learning disability or severe language disorder should speak to their home school Principal or VSL Area Manager regarding special examination arrangements. 9.

Supporting documentation from an independent health professional stating the problem, date of diagnosis and impact on the student must be provided. If students have been granted special provision by their day school, they should inform their teacher and Area Manager so that appropriate support may be provided at the VSL. An extension of time to complete school assessment will only be granted in special circumstances. 4 VCE LOTE STUDENT HANDBOOK 2012

21 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF WRITING The following descriptions outline the main characteristics of the five different kinds of writing referred to in the VCE LOTE Study Design. This is a guide only; students would not be expected to include all aspects in their writing. Personal writing: creates a sense of person/personality for the writer in the reader s mind establishes a relationship/intimacy/empathy between the writer and the reader usually employs first and/or second person; subjective; informal, familiar style/register; often includes emotive language emphasises ideas, opinions, feelings, impressions rather than factual, objective information uses, in reflective writing, the act of writing to help the author understand and unravel his/her own feelings or ideas may, in certain contexts, use contracted language such as is used in speech. Imaginative writing: manipulates the reader s response to the piece to create the desired impression or response: visual and/or emotional appeal usually creates a strong sense of context (physical surroundings and atmosphere) and situation normally includes description (person, place, emotion, atmosphere), so careful selection of language such as adjectives and adverbs (or their equivalents) is important uses techniques such as variation in sentence length, juxtaposition of different sentence lengths, careful control of structure and sequencing, to add to the overall effect by creating the desired atmosphere or conveying the required emotion may break normal sequencing for added impact, such as in a flashback or in a final disclosure which puts a different interpretation on preceding passages. Persuasive writing: manipulates the reader s emotions and opinions in order to achieve a specific purpose, that is, to achieve a desired outcome or effect which is important to and selected by the writer is strongly influenced by the nature of the target audience in choosing the persuasive techniques to adopt, i.e. the language (vocabulary, sentence structures, style/ register), structure and sequencing of the piece are framed with the particular audience and purpose in mind requires choice of the best word (with the precise shade of meaning and overtones of approval/disapproval, virtue/vice etc.), so range of vocabulary and dictionary technique are important aims in certain instances (for example, advertisements) to keep the target audience unaware of being manipulated and adopts an appearance of objectivity and rationality by using indirect, subtle, secretive techniques; confidential, intimate, collaborative style and register sometimes uses exaggeration, extravagant language, humour to create a conspiratorial relationship between the writer and the reader often uses the second person for direct address and appeal sometimes employs direct speech and questions to intensify the relationship with the audience may use techniques such as the use of technical or scientific language and superlatives or quantitative statements to lend authority to the content. VCE LOTE STUDENT HANDBOOK

22 Informative writing: aims to convey information from the writer to the reader as clearly, completely and accurately as possible usually uses objective style and impersonal expressions, although the writer may use an informal style to establish a relationship of friendly helper with the reader normally has no particular point of view to convey; if a point of view is involved, the writing becomes either persuasive (aiming to convert the reader to a particular point of view or attitude in order to convince him or her to act or respond in a certain way) or evaluative (aiming to weigh two or more items/ideas in order to convince the reader rationally and objectively that a particular point of view is correct) generally uses facts, examples, explanations, analogies and sometimes statistical information, quotations and references as evidence chooses language, structure and sequence to make the message clear and unambiguous, so the sequencing of information is usually logical and predictable probably uses few adjectives, adverbs, images, except as examples or analogies in explanation. Evaluative writing: aims to reach a conclusion acceptable to an intelligent, unbiased reader through the logical presentation and discussion of facts and ideas presents two or more important aspects of an issue or sides of an argument and discusses these rationally and objectively; using evidence to support the contrasting sides or alternatives uses objective style; appeals to reason not emotion; creation of an impression of balance and impartiality is essential often includes expressions of cause, consequence, opposition and concession. 13 VCE LOTE STUDENT HANDBOOK 2012
