    Knows Covered:

    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.

    KNOW: Language works at both denotative and connotative levels. There is a gap between the language we choose to convey an idea and how the idea is understood. Our language choices and how we interpret language can reveal our values and beliefs.
