3 June - 9 June

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are EXPLORING hobbies by researching the social/ historical context of the texts we read (e.g. author’s story).

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).
• I can outline real world examples that connect to ideas, events, and character actions in the 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: Texts can have multiple layers of ideas. Exploring them helps to expose deeper meanings and contradictions within the text.

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.
