FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:
We are EXPLORING reading by analysing multiple and sometimes competing interpretations of a text, including my own, using analytical lenses to make informed judgments about the text.
We are EXPLORING articles by recognising how texts include or exclude people, places, or ideas in different cultural, historical, political and social contexts.
We are PLANNING report writing by organising my own text by revising and editing and proofreading the text to check the grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Success Criteria:
- I can express the purpose of the text using a variety of sentence structures, beginnings, and lengths for effect.
- I can discuss the the ideas the author has presented in a text and draw conclusions from it.
- I can examine how the themes, messages and opinions of a text can be experienced by different readers in different ways.
Achievement Objectives:
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.Week 7 Learning Activities
