FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are PLANNING an oral text to show that, as a text creator, I create texts to advocate for myself, for others, and to change my world.

We are PLANNING an oral text by organising my own text so that my structures support my purpose/ meaning.

We are PLANNING an oral text by choosing language that is appropriate to the topic, audience, & purpose.

We are PLANNING note taking by organising my own text so that my structures support my purpose/ meaning.

                                                                                  Success Criteria: I can...

• I created a speech or presentation that explores the topic ‘unity.’
• I selected a range of presentation techniques (eg voice, body language, gesture, eye contact) to help my purpose.
  
• I selected a range of language features for effect to help my purpose.
• I can compare/contrast how the purpose of the text affects the structure of a text.
  

KNOW: As a text creator, I can use stories to advocate for myself, for others, and to try to change my world.

KNOW: Codes, conventions, & 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.
