Description
The Presenting Argument area of study for Unit 4 of VCE English has now been revised for 2020. Students are now no longer required to complete an oral and you can set students one of three simpler POV tasks (see the official VCAA advice here). This package provides resources to help you explain and scaffold students to complete one of the following three options.
