                                                                                FOCUS / ARONGA

                                                                      FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    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.

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

    We are FOCUSING on forces in motion by explaining the effects of conventions in a written/visual text.

                                                                                            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 identify the text’s creator and why the text has been created (purpose).
      • I can identify the different uses of language in a range of text.
                                                                                               

    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: 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: Codes, conventions, and features of different types of texts are often subtle and able to be flexibly applied. Recognising them and the effects they have in different types of texts supports the analysis and crafting of texts.
