Dear VCE 'Encountering Conflict' students,
This is a space for you to practise different forms of writing and responding to set prompts. When you write a piece you will need to indicate whether you are using
The Secret River or
The Rugmaker to inform your writing. You also need to provide a mini statement of explanation that outlines form, audience, purpose and context.
You will also be expected to read each
others' work and use the comments feature and DIIGO (a web tool useful for conferencing) to provide feedback to each other. When conferencing you can comment about what is working well in the piece, areas for improvement and how you can see the prompt and nominated text influencing the piece. Due to this you might need to edit a post you have submitted so label each edit as post 1, post 2, etc.
Though this example was completed for 'The Rugmaker' there is lots of ideas and themes that directly relate to 'The Crucible'. In the lead up to the SAC unpack some prompts from the 'All the world's a stage' post and create some tagxedos or wordles to record your ideas. A form of brainstorming to be prepared for any prompt that you might have to encounter in the a SAC or the exam.
