What students learn in AC9E2LY06
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of And edit short imaginative, informative and persuasive written and/or multimodal.... The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.
- Start with the main idea: create and edit short imaginative, informative and persuasive written and/or multimodal texts for familiar audiences, using text structure appropriate to purpose, simple and compound sentences, noun groups and verb groups, topic-specific vocabulary, simple punctuation and common 2-syllable words.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- creating written texts so that readers follow the sequence of ideas or events using vocabulary, including topic-specific vocabulary, appropriate to the purpose
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
