What students learn in AC9E7LA03
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of And describe how texts are structured differently depending on their.... 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: identify and describe how texts are structured differently depending on their purpose and how language features vary in texts.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- examining the structures of book or film reviews and how they might move from description of context to summary of the text and then to judgement of the text recognising the social purpose of a persuasive text and how the purpose is reflected in the text structure and by the language features; for example, analysing the structure and language features of advertising posters
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
