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 FOCUSING on survival by explaining the effects of conventions in a written/visual text.
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 different uses of language in a range of 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: 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.
