2024 ATOM Contexts SAC for VCE Media Unit 3

For all the 2024 VCE Media Unit 3 packs in one, visit this page.

This sample school assessed coursework assessment for the outcome 'Narratives and their Contexts', focus on Contexts, 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.

Many schools will choose to assess students using a modified version of one of the three SACs provided. Some schools will choose to use both the Narratives SAC and the Contexts SAC for a 40 mark assessment. Schools that exclusively assessed Narratives in their Video Essay assessment may choose to focus on Contexts for this written SAC (or vice versa). To join the discussion and learn how other schools are assessing students, please visit the ATOM Facebook group.

Assessment includes 5 structured questions and a marking guide.

This sample SAC has been created by experienced Media VCE teachers to reflect the current Media study design (2024). It includes carefully written questions that reflect the changes in the study design, a comprehensive marking guide which 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 2024 ATOM SAC resources are not an official VCAA documents and should only be used as guiding documents. Any material used for VCE assessment should be modified so it is appropriate to your cohort of students.
