Sigma Publications Workbook 'AS 1.11 Understanding Visual/Oral Texts' is a write-on student workbook covering the English skills needed to gain Achieved, Merit, or Excellence in this NCEA Level 1 Achievement Standard. The work in this book covers only Achievement Standard 1.9 (AS90856).

This workbook contains a large number of write-on student tasks designed to enable students to practise the necessary skills which will bring a deeper understanding to this area of the New Zealand English curriculum. Students will also find a large number detailed instruction boxes, glossaries and English resources that will help them develop the ideas and processes needed to gain a high level pass in the internal assessment for this Standard.

This workbook helps students understand the wide range of visual and oral techniques used in film, TV series, plays, graphic novels, radio monologues, oratory, song, and video gaming. Such areas as lighting, colour, costume, make-up, special effects, sound, film shots, camera angles and use of symbols are explored and how these elements develop the theme, setting, characters and plot of a text. A Model Essay is included showing exactly where the phrases that gain achievement, merit and excellence passes are located. An abbreviated version of Achievement Standard 1.11 is included in the resource.
