What students learn in AC9E6LY06
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of Plan, create, edit and publish written and multimodal texts whose.... 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 written and multimodal texts whose purposes may be imaginative, informative and persuasive, using paragraphs, a variety of complex sentences, expanded verb groups, tense, topic-specific and vivid vocabulary, punctuation, spelling and visual features.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- creating informative texts for 2 different audiences that explore a topic using text structure and language features for the identified audiences, noting the changes required to appeal to each audience using rhetorical devices, images and modal verbs for persuasive effects, for an identified audience
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
