[English] Focus on Poetry

[Mary Mason]

Hi

I am co-convenor of the Professional Learning and Research Committee at
VATE. I'm trying to reach as many English Teachers as possible. VATE is
running a Focus on Poetry this year and as part of that we have a
disciplinary renewal series running on Tuesday evenings once a month. It is
an opportunity to hear academics talk about their passions in poetry -
academics such as Peter Otto on Blake or Lyn McCreddon on Eliot and there is
indigenous poetry with Tony Birch and Asian poetry with Ali Alizadeh as well
as war poety and the list goes on. You can choose six and renew your
discipline or if  you have not had much opportunity to study poetry at uni,
gain an understanding of it. This is a series about Literature, not
necessarily about teaching poetry. Later in the year there will be
opportunities to meet teachers who will talk about how to teach it and poets
who will talk about how to write it. We need your support for this so please
enrol. The VATE web address is http://www.vate.org.au.  Teachers who are not
members of VATE are welcome.

 

Thanks Mary Mason

Hi Terry,

 

Thank you so much for replying. They are a great help. We're looking for new
ideas and changing the way we use our criteria sheets, so we're very
grateful.

 

Have a Merry Christmas!

 

Kind regards,

 

Tania.

Hi everyone,

I know it is a busy time of the year, but I was wondering if anyone has any
SAC criteria sheets for Year 12 English that they wouldn't mind emailing and
sharing?

We are currently editing our own. But we are looking for inspiration, and
would love to see what others do, in particular the way in which the
descriptors are used. Is there any issue with the range of marks and
determining how to use them to achieve consistency?

Any help would be great.

Happy holidays.

Tania.
