FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are EXPLORING 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 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.

We are EXPLORING speeches by analysing texts that have a range of audience/s and the context of this audience/s impacts the interpretation of the text/s.

• I can examine how the themes, messages and opinions of a text can be experienced by different readers in different ways.
• 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.

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.
