Love the game
by Lee Kindler
In this resource developed for the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, students develop a presentation pitch to convince a sporting club that they should sign up to the Love the Game sporting club program. Students then analyse a sample pitch before going through the process of planning, drafting, and editing their own pitch. They also complete a self-assessment using a rubric.
Love the game is aligned to Unit 1 Literacy, VCE Vocational Major.
Potential Influences
by Lee Kindler
Students will consider the potential influences shaping the attitudes of themselves and the community toward gambling. Influencing factors include:
- access to real and simulated gambling via apps, social media, and gaming
- saturation levels of gambling advertising
- family and peer attitudes to gambling.
Students will plan, draft and write a report for a sporting club that explains the influences on attitudes towards gambling before completing a self-assessment using a rubric.
This resource addresses learning outcomes for Unit 3, Literacy of VCE Vocational Major.
