    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:


    We are PLANNING to demonstrate that, as a text creator, I can create texts to advocate for myself, for others, and to try to change my world.

    We are EXPLORING by analysing multiple and sometimes competing interpretations of a text, including my own, using analytical lenses to make informed judgments about the text.


                                                                                       Success Criteria:


    • I can examine how the themes, messages and opinions  of a text can be experienced by different readers in different ways.
    • 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.

    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: 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.
