Examining literature
Discuss the nature and effects of some language devices used to enhance meaning and shape the reader’s reaction, including rhythm and onomatopoeia in poetry and prose (ACELT1600).
Understand how different types of texts vary in use of language choices, depending on their purpose and context (for example, tense and types of sentences) (ACELA1478).
Know that word contractions are a feature of informal language and that apostrophes of contraction are used to signal missing letters (ACELA1480).
Text structure and organisation
Identify the audience and purpose of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts (ACELY1678).
Read an increasing range of different types of texts by combining contextual, semantic, grammatical and phonic knowledge, using text processing strategies, for example monitoring, predicting, confirming, rereading, reading on and self-correcting (ACELY1679).
Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to evaluate texts by drawing on a growing knowledge of context, text structures and language features (ACELY1680).
Interpreting, analysing, evaluating
Understand that a clause is a unit of grammar usually containing a subject and a verb and that these need to be in agreement (ACELA1481).
Understand that verbs represent different processes, for example doing, thinking, saying, and relating and that these processes are anchored in time through tense (ACELA1482).
Learn extended and technical vocabulary and ways of expressing opinion including modal verbs and adverbs (ACELA1484).
Expressing and developing ideas
Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts demonstrating increasing control over text structures and language features and selecting print,and multimodal elements appropriate to the audience and purpose (ACELY1682).
Reread and edit texts for meaning, appropriate structure, grammatical choices and punctuation (ACELY1683).
