Literature and contexts
Analyse representations of individuals, groups and places and evaluate how they relate to contexts in literary texts by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, wide-ranging Australian and world authors and creators
WA10ELICO1
For example:
- analysing how stories written by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors modernise traditional stories, and evaluating the responses of contemporary audiences
- investigating how a creator’s personal, cultural and/or social context influences the ways in which they represent an individual, group or place in a literary text
Engaging with and responding to literature
Reflect on and extend others’ interpretations of and responses to literary texts
WA10ELIEN1
For example:
- presenting an argument based on close textual analysis and further research to support an interpretation of a play, such as creating a set of director’s notes
Analyse how the aesthetic qualities associated with text structures, language features, literary devices and visual features, and the context in which these texts are experienced, influence audience response
WA10ELIEN2
For example:
- discussing how audiences responded to a classic film at its time of production and how a contemporary audience might respond to the film today
- exploring the aesthetic qualities of a popular literary text
Engaging with and responding to literature
Evaluate the social, moral or ethical perspectives represented in literary texts
WA10ELIEN3

- identifying and analysing ethical perspectives on a significant issue in a novel, including values and/or principles involved, and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the perspectives presented
- considering the moral perspective adopted by a documentary and evaluating whether it aligns with the viewer’s personal stance
Examining literature
Analyse how text structure, language features, literary devices and intertextual connections shape interpretations of texts
WA10ELIEX1
For example:
- examining satirical representations of events or ideas and determining how satire shapes interpretations and responses
Compare and evaluate how ‘voice’ as a literary device is used in different types of texts, such as poetry, novels and film, to evoke emotional responses
WA10ELIEX2
For example:
- comparing the ‘voice’ of protest in a range of poems and songs, evaluating how different voices evoke a response
Analyse and evaluate the aesthetic qualities of texts
WA10ELIEX3
For example:
- considering how the two parts of the glossary definition of aesthetic – ‘concerned with a sense of beauty’ and ‘an appreciation of artistic expression’ – are different and how they intertwine

WA10ELICR1
For example:
- creating and editing a suite of short texts that focus on a key idea expressed in different voices
- composing an autobiographical narrative in the form of a digital story that incorporates written, visual and auditory features
