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 FOCUSING on explanation writing by choosing language that is appropriate to the topic, audience, and purpose.
Success Criteria:
- I can examine how the themes, messages and opinions of a text can be experienced by different readers in different ways.
- I can categorise my ideas into paragraphs with clear ideas and following a writing frame eg. TEXAS, PEDAL etc.
Knows Covered:
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.
KNOW: Structural elements can be arranged for deliberate effect to build up meaning across a text.
