8M2 Wheel Decide

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

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.

Knows Covered:

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: As a text creator, I can contribute to national and global conversations through my original interpretations of texts and through the texts I create.

                                                                                 Success Criteria: I can...

• 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.
  
• 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.
