A PPT designed for the first lesson back (lessons are 70 minutes). It begins with classroom expectations, finding out about the teacher and some interactive activities with peers. It also includes an explanation of how the QCE works and why it is better to get the literacy tick in year 11 than year 12. It includes a overview of the four assessments for the year so students understand they will be doing one speech per semester. They are introduced to their first assessment (a persuasive speech 4-6mins) and what the first unit will be about. They are given a copy of the learning intentions and success criteria to glue into their books. Then there is a creative group work activity designed to see their current ability levels.

**ABOUT THE UNIT
**
Unit 1: Language that works

Focus: Travel industry

Unit description: Students respond to a client travel brief by designing a multimodal presentation for a holiday centred on a chosen international event. They will research the event and its location, considering how to represent the place and the event to appeal to the client’s interests. The unit also examines how individual perspectives and cultural assumptions influence perceptions of places and events. Through this task, students develop skills I research and multimodal design, while exploring the intersection of culture, representation, and audience engagement.
