The document outlines the learning goals for a Year 10 English unit on persuasive arguments. The goals are to have students articulate the importance of peace, recognize how music can represent ideologies like peace, and understand how texts can influence viewpoints through combining spoken, written and visual elements. To achieve these, students will analyze celebrations of peace, identify songs about peace, and create their own persuasive multimedia arguments.
