McKinnon Secondary College
| Introduction | Unit 1 | Unit 2 |
You will be doing classroom activities and assessment tasks in order to achieve the Outcomes that enable you to pass each of the two Units. Your result for each of Units 1 and 2 are reported to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) as S (Satisfactory), if you pass each assessment task, or N (Not Satisfactory). Within the school, i.e. on your report, you will also get a grade for each of the assessment tasks. We shall also do vocab tests and other tests on a regular basis. Even though the score for small tests like those is not of interest to the VCAA, they are useful in order to concentrate on learning vocab. You will also do an exam at the end of both units: the result of the exam is given on your report, though it doesn’t go to the VCAA.
You will find that some topics we do will be connected to topics you have already done in earlier years, but you will be doing them in more depth, with more complex language.
