3 June - 9 June

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

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

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.

                                                                                   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).

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: Texts can have multiple layers of ideas. Exploring them helps to expose deeper meanings and contradictions within the text.
