                                                                          FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are FOCUSING on persuasive writing by explaining the effects of conventions in a written text.

    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.


    Knows Covered:


    KNOW: Text creators manipulate the codes, conventions, and features of texts and can break conventions for effect. They have their own preferences and styles, which influences their choices.

    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.


                                                                                     Success Criteria: I can...


    I can categorise my ideas into paragraphs with clear ideas and following a writing frame eg. TEXAS, PEDAL etc.

    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 compare/contrast how the purpose of the text affects the structure of a text.
