Belonging: The Simple Gift The Core of Belonging requires you to explore the way the set text, related text and a set video clip demonstrate ideas and perceptions about belonging/not belonging to place. A physical place is a school, a home, a park, a town ect, and can make someone feel like they belong or that they do not belong based on their own perception and perspective. Remember: Perspective is a key issue here. Perspective is basically someones point of view. Example If someone has a negative point of view (perspective) about a physical place, like a school, then they will inevitably feel like they do not belong at that school. Maybe they have been teased or bullied. Maybe they are not academically gifted. This experience will make them feel like they do not belong at this place. Their point of view about school will be that they do not belong. If someone has a positive point of view (perspective) about a physical place, like the same school, then they will probably feel like they do belong at that school. Maybe they have lots of friends. Maybe they have never had a problem with their school work. This experience will make them feel like they do belong at this place. Their point of view about the school will be that they do belong. **Some helpful websites: ** Example of Belonging in the Simple Gift Belonging in the Simple Gift Short examples of Belonging - In the Simple Gift You Tube Clip - Belonging in the Simple Gift (an example of belonging from the simple gift - Very basic!)

Stronger responses should show an understanding of the way language, content and structure impact on the effectiveness of the speech as a whole. This should be done through an analysis of stylistic features, such as the use of language devices.

YR 12 - AREA OF STUDY: DISCOVERY

Discovery is can encompass the experience of discovering something for the first time or rediscovering something that was once lost. It can be sudden or expected by curiosity, necessity or wonder. Discoveries can be enlightening and enjoyable or confronting and provocative. They can lead us into new worlds, values, morals, pathways, knowledge and understanding that stimulates our minds to challenge the future possibilities. It offers us greater understanding of perceptions of ourselves and others. An individual's discovery and their processes of discovery vary from personal, cultural, historical and social contexts and values. The impact of this can influence the individual or possibly the entire community. Discoveries can be questioned or challenged when a variety of perspectives have been considered and are reassessed. By exploring this notion, we are analysing texts that have the potential to affirm or challenge an individual's or more 'assumptions' and 'beliefs' about human's journey of discovery and their world. As students, it is important to consider the various ways a composer may invite you interpret their experience of discovery and explore how their process is depicted in their work using language, features and forms.

These sites will help you develop your understanding of the new AOS.
