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


                                                                          Success Criteria:


    I can compose a range of text using language features effectively while sustaining a writing style which is appropriate for my audience.


    Knows Covered:

    KNOW: Language works at both denotative and connotative levels. There is a gap between the language we choose to convey an idea and how the idea is understood. Our language choices and how we interpret language can reveal our values and beliefs.
