What You Need to Be Able to do
What is Year 11 Module A: Contemporary Possibilities all about?
‘Contemporary’意味着我们生活在right now and“可能性”refers to the new options for creators generated by new technologies, such as the Internet.
“当代的可能性”也可以通过两种方式运行,这意味着该模块不仅会考虑这些新技术如何允许创建文本的新方法,还可以看出新的方法来响应它们。
Let’s take a look at what the syllabus says:

Rather than looking at the ways that experiences are represented through distinctive voices or the distinctively visual,the new Module A focuses particularly on the process of engaging with meaning.

在那年11个模块中,有很多信息描述,所以让我们分解您需要做的事情。
您需要在当代可能性上做什么
#1: Respond to Multimedia, Multimodal and Nonlinear Texts
学生扩展知识,理解和欣赏不同沟通技术的方式,塑造我们阅读,导航,理解和对多媒体,多模式和非线性文本的方式的方式
This is a long-winded way of saying you’ll be exploring a diverse array of texts to examine how they convey meaning and impact readers.
多种文本到底是什么?
Good question! In this module, ‘texts’ means a lot more than books and films. This could include websites, apps, poems, or videos. The ‘contemporary possibilities’ are endless (haha).
For example,‘nonlinear’ texts意味着不直接的文本。这可能意味着一个文本,使您可以按照所需的任何顺序与其零件互动。“多模式”指的是任何以多种方式与观众互动的文本。
For instance, film is an example of a多模式textual medium, because it conveys information not only through the visual, but through sound.
另一个例子是电话申请,,,,which uses visual communication, audio communication, and linguistic communication, this is also an example of a nonlinear text.
In this new module, there is also afocus on how new technologies allow for the texts to convey meaning in other mediums than their original medium。Meaning that new text forms and technologies allow for a text to be communicated in more than one medium.
例如,电影的作曲家不仅使用电影来传达意义,而且可以使用社交媒体(例如Facebook和YouTube)的媒介从角色的角度来制作帐户。
这就是作曲家可能会使用多种媒介传达文本含义的方式。使用多个媒介也会改变受众对文本的反应。
行动点:
Step 1: Ask your teachers what texts you’ll be looking at and find them!
Ideally you will have read, watched or at least looked at your texts before you start Module A. If not, make sure you take a look as soon as possible! You should be at least familiar with the basics of your texts before you visit them in class.
It would be a good idea to start looking at different examples of多模式文本,并熟悉他们的形式如何决定他们的含义。
步骤2:搜索相关文本并熟悉相关技术。
首先,阅读有关查找完美相关文本的惊人文章。然后…阅读您的相关文本!
If you’re unsure or need help, you can ask your teacher for advice on which texts would work well. In particular, look for texts which use features that would not be possible without modern technologies.
一个很好的例子是SBS的“船”在线适应。
此外,最好找出您的评估需要什么技术,以确保您可以访问并知道如何使用它。
#2:对选定文本进行仔细研究
students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the power of communication technologies to reach a broad audience for a range of purposes and the significance of this mode of communication in a global world
通过此模块,您将探索作曲家如何控制和塑造观众对文本的反应方式。
How does a composer control and shape the way an audience responds to a text?
Composers do this by using aural, language and visual devices to communicate their meaning to the responder.
但是,上下文将在此模块中表现出色。作曲家和响应者的上下文改变了文本含义的解释方式。
Context is also important because changes in context involve changes in technology. If there is a change in technology, there are new opportunities for composers to produce and convey meaning and therefore different ways of creating texts and to examine such texts.
行动点:
Step 1: Get acquainted with literary, aural and visual techniques
要对文本进行仔细研究,并了解作曲家如何以及为什么以某种方式作曲,您需要了解您的设备和技术!
If you’re a little rusty on your techniques and devices, we’ve got you covered with articles on您需要知道的文学技巧and aVisual Techniques Cheatsheet呢
Step 2: Get started on your TEE Tables
一旦您掌握了自己的技术,就该将这些知识应用于您的文本了!
Creating a TEE Table is the best way to develop a ‘bank’ of examples of ways composers create meaning in their texts. This will serve as part of your study notes for English AND make it easier for you to find examples in your texts to back up your arguments in essays and analysis.

#3:撰写自己的多模式和数字文本
通过他们的回应和作曲的学生in increasing confidence in experimenting with a range of language and visual forms and features to individually or collaboratively design and create their own multimodal or digital texts
利用您从仔细研究文本中获得的知识,下一步是撰写自己的文本!但是,在此模块中,编写自己的文本可能不仅意味着简单地编写一个简短的创意故事。
由于该模块的重点是各种文本类型,因此可以要求您撰写任何文本类型作为评估。
行动点:
步骤1:练习,练习,练习!
11年级模块中良好写作的关键:当代可能性是实践。但是,不仅练习您的创意写作和短篇小说,而且还以各种非线性,多模式类型的方式写作。

总之…
The new Year 11 Module A ‘Contemporary Possibilities’ module replaces the ‘Experiences Through Language’ module.
Rather than purely literary texts, the Year 11 Module A extends the study of texts to multimodal texts that engage in a number of ways.
评估将集中在学生的技能上,以解释由于新技术的新选择以及在我们当前时代的新响应方式如何可用的新选择。
