What students learn in AC9E3LY06
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of Plan, create, edit and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive written.... 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: plan, create, edit and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive written and multimodal texts, using visual features, appropriate form and layout, with ideas grouped in simple paragraphs, mostly correct tense, topic-specific vocabulary and correct spelling of most high-frequency and phonetically regular words.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- gathering information and ideas about a topic in preparation for writing, which may include online and digital sources selecting appropriate text structure for a writing purpose, and sequencing content for clarity and to have an impact on an audience
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
