AC9EFLE04 · rhythms and sound patterns in literary texts
Learning focus: I can hear, copy and make rhythm and sound patterns in poems, rhymes and songs.
Model it: Worked example 2: copy a repeating sound-and-action pattern Chant: “Red bird, blue bird, hop-hop-stop. Red bird, blue bird, hop-hop-stop.” red bird → tap blue bird → tap hop-hop-stop → clap-clap-freeze The words, beats and actions repeat in the same order. Listen for the whole repeating unit, copy it once, then join the second repetition.
Ask the learner: What is the main idea of rhythms and sound patterns in literary texts?
Look for: The learner can I can hear, copy and make rhythm and sound patterns in poems, rhymes and songs in a fresh example and explain the evidence or reasoning without copying the model.
If they are stuck: If the learner guesses or repeats a rule without evidence, return to the concrete or visual model and ask them to explain what each part shows.
