2021 ATOM Agency and Control SAC for VCE Media Unit 4, Outcome 2

This sample school assessed coursework assessment for the outcome 'Agency and control in and of the media' has been designed to have students approach a broad range of the key knowledge and skills, reflect exam-style questions and be accessible to differing abilities.

Assessment includes 5 short to medium-length structured questions and 1 extended answer question. This extended answer question can be used as part of the assessment or could form a separate part of testing, such as a take-home essay.

This sample SAC has been created by experienced Media VCE teachers to reflect the current Media study design (2018–2022). It includes carefully written questions that reflect the changes in the study design, a comprehensive marking guide which includes 'teacher notes' that explain the aspects of each question and 'marking criteria' that break down how each question could be graded.

The sample SAC is a powerful class resource which allows students to practice structured style questions and longer responses when preparing for assessment tasks. It also provides teachers with a sample template to create their own school-assessed coursework.

NB: The ATOM SAC 2021 is not an official VCAA document and should be only used as a guiding document. Any materials used for VCE Assessment should be modified so it is appropriate to your cohort of students.
