                                                                          FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


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

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


    Knows Covered:


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

    KNOW: Codes, conventions, and 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.


                                                                                      Success Criteria: I can...


    • I can identify the text’s creator and why the text has been created (purpose).
    • I can identify the different uses of language in a range of text.
