                                                                      FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are EXPLORING differences by recognising how texts include or exclude people, places, or ideas in different cultural, historical, political and social contexts.

    We are PLANNING a presentation to create text that can contribute to national and global conversations through my original interpretations of texts and through the texts I create.


                                                                                        Success Criteria:


    • I can deliberately design texts for different audiences to share my ideas with different audiences, knowing that how I communicate my ideas can play a part in shaping society.
    • I can explain how the issue manifests in society and the impact on various groups of people.


    Knows Covered:


    KNOW: As a text creator, I can contribute to national and global conversations through my original interpretations of texts and through the texts I create.

    KNOW: Some texts ask questions that cannot be answered. Through these questions, the texts grapple with ideas and feelings that are difficult to articulate or navigate.
