Sample cards from this deck

Definition
Creating Multimodal Texts - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Multimodal text
A multimodal text communicates meaning through two or more modes working together, such as written language, images, sound and design, where the combination of modes produces meaning that no single mode could carry alone.
Definition
Adaptation Studies - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Adaptation
An adaptation is a deliberate transformation of an existing text into a new form, medium or context, where the change of mode itself becomes a source of new meaning rather than a neutral act of copying.
Definition
Creative and Reflective Writing - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Voice
Voice is the distinctive personality a reader hears in a piece of writing, created through word choice, sentence rhythm and attitude. A controlled voice is consistent from the first sentence to the last, so the writing feels deliberately authored rather than drifting between registers.
Definition
Analysing Themes, Ideas and Concepts - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Representation
Representation is the way a text constructs and presents an idea, group, place or concept through deliberate choices, so that the reader receives a shaped version of it rather than a neutral reflection of reality.
Definition
Oral Presentations and Speaking - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Oral text
An oral text is a spoken composition crafted for a listening audience, where meaning is carried not only by the words but by delivery features such as pace, pause, emphasis, tone of voice and physical presence.
Definition
Analysing Values and Attitudes in Texts - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Positioning
Positioning is the way a text uses its choices, including viewpoint, sympathy, outcomes and language, to invite the reader to adopt particular values, attitudes and judgements, often without the reader noticing the invitation.
Definition
Persuasive Writing - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Contention
A contention is the single, arguable position a persuasive text exists to advance, stated clearly enough that a reasonable reader could disagree with it. Every paragraph in a strong persuasive piece pushes the same contention from a fresh angle rather than introducing a new argument unrelated to it.
Definition
Different Interpretations of Texts - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Critical lens
A critical lens is a deliberate reading perspective that foregrounds particular questions and patterns in a text, producing one defensible interpretation among several rather than the single true meaning of the work.
Definition
Reflecting on Your Own Writing - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Reflective commentary
A reflective commentary is a piece of analytical writing in which a writer examines and justifies the choices in their own composition, linking those choices to audience, purpose and effect, and often to their development as a writer.
Definition
Synthesising Evidence and Structuring an Argument - TCE English (Tasmania)
Define Synthesis
Synthesis is the combining of separate pieces of evidence and ideas into a unified argument, so that the parts support and qualify one another and together prove more than any one piece could alone.
