In Zines, students discuss, investigate and evaluate popular print

students develop skills in researching, gathering information, and writing and
presenting different kinds of texts and images through the publishing process.
Students use information and communications technology, including the
Internet, for researching and for publishing their own work online or in ‘hard
copy’ publications.
This unit provides opportunities for students to demonstrate achievement
