                                                        FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    We are REFLECTING on testing ourselves for the CATs.

    We are PLANNING poetry by choosing language that is appropriate to the topic, audience, and purpose.

    We are EXPLORING articles by recognising texts that have multiples purposes and knowing the context of the creator helps us understand the purpose.

                                                                            Success Criteria:


      • I can compose a range of text using language features effectively while sustaining a writing style which is appropriate for my audience.
      • I can answer the questions on my CAT's.
      • I can identify the text’s creator and why the text has been created (purpose).

    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: Language works at both denotative and connotative levels. There is a gap between the language we choose to convey an idea and how the idea is understood. Our language choices and how we interpret language can reveal our values and beliefs.
