Assessment Type 2: Creative Presentation

For a 10-credit subject, students undertake one creative presentation. For a 20-credit subject, students undertake two creative presentations.

Students research and use their learning from and with Aboriginal peoples and/or communities to undertake their creative presentation(s). For a 10-credit subject, students select one context: either community experiences or community enterprise. For a 20-credit subject, students select either or both contexts. The context(s) enables students to demonstrate their learning from and with Aboriginal peoples and/or communities. Students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of how the past influences the present, and deconstruct and analyse the experiences of Aboriginal peoples and/or communities.

They may present their evidence of learning in creative ways such as:

  • a movie clip
  • a music video
  • a dance or theatre performance
  • artwork including street art
  • an avatar presentation 
  • a book or anthology
  • a comic strip or short story
  • a technology product
  • photographs with commentary.

Evidence in oral or visual form should be accompanied by a brief presenter’s statement explaining the intention of the creative presentation. This statement should be a maximum of 150 words.

The creative presentation may be in multimodal, oral, or written form. It should be a maximum of 5 minutes if oral, 800 words if written, or the equivalent if multimodal.

For this assessment type, students provide evidence of their learning primarily in relation to the following assessment design criteria:

  • knowledge and understanding 
  • deconstruction and analysis.
