Students learn to identify and explain how literary devices create layers of meaning in texts including poetry. They identify precise evidence and explain or evaluate how a language, structural, literary or multimodal choice shapes meaning, representation, audience response or purpose. Key concepts include context, language, image, literary, reading.
Learning target: identify and explain how literary devices create layers of meaning in texts including poetry
A caption may name what a photograph shows while the image supplies colour, scale or expression that the words do not. Explain the contribution of each mode.
A close-up makes a face or object prominent; a wide view can emphasise setting and distance. Ask what the viewer is guided to notice.
Headings, labels, diagrams and white space can help readers locate and connect information rather than merely decorate the page.
When a text, language name or cultural protocol is discussed, identify the source and describe what it supports without treating one example as representing all First Nations Peoples or Countries/Places.
Step 1: Explicit Teaching & Modelling Define the outcome-specific metalanguage (context, language, image) and model how to identify the feature, select evidence and explain or use it.
Step 2: Guided Analysis Work through a second example together: What is the choice or feature? Where is the evidence? What does it do here?
Step 3: Collaborative / Independent Practice Students annotate, compare, read, edit, speak or compose with a fresh example, then apply the concept independently.
Step 4: Formative Assessment Use an unseen micro-text, oral task or creation task. Require precise evidence plus a justified explanation or deliberate crafting choice.
The content description is the required target. The elaborations below are taught as examples and contexts, not as disconnected checklist wording.
Use a fresh example that has not been modelled. Ask the student to show the exact clue, feature or language choice and explain or use it independently.
