In a context response (expository) would I be allowed to use inclusive language such as we and our when referring to a sense of identity and belonging. E.g. at times who we believe we are, our sense of self, may be challenged etc, or would that not be acceptable for expository?
ive read through some context responses in the assessment reports and they use inclusive language, so i think you'd be able to
Another question: Will prompts given by VCAA for section B give us the ability to challenge them? The prompts I've be practicing with (only 2 so far 
) are so hard to disagree with because there just so true!
Thank you
of course! i agree, some prompts are easier to simply agree/disagree with, but there's definitely prompts out there that can be challenged
for example, the conflict prompt 'when conflict arises, everyone has a role', you can contend that each individual does play a role, however the
actions taken by these individuals in enacting their role results in consequences that ultimately exacerbates the conflict.
And finally, what does the ability to: "Skillfully shape ideas and arguments..." and a "sophisticated understanding of complex ideas/arguments relevant to chosen context" mean in plain English??
Thank you
'skilfully shape ideas and arguments'- formulating unique and fresh ideas/arguments. so thats basically discerning themes and values in the text/film that are less obvious and linking them to the prompt you're responding to
for example, in the novel stasiland, stasi victim frau paul is portrayed as 'spic and span' -> perhaps one may argue that her nature to be neat and tidy may have arisen from a compulsive disorder educed by the stasi's brutality on her mindset
"sophisticated understanding of complex ideas/arguments relevant to chosen context" - linking the type of ideas mentioned above back to the prompt you're responding to
if im wrong someone please correct me!
