Due to NAPLAN now commencing earlier, it was decided that this could be done away with (from Term 1 Week 3) in order to teach narrative and persuasive writing techniques.
In movies, stories are told with moving images and sound. In the following animated story, the characters don’t speak, so the story is told only with sound (music and sound effects). We often use the term “view” when understanding a visual text.
View the youtube clip “For the Birds”. Altogether as a class, draft the outline of this story on a graphic organiser:
REVISION FOR NAPLAN (older version):
REVISION FOR NAPLAN (older version):

Students will be shown past NAPLAN samples of narrative and persuasive stimuli.
They are to be given time to plan, write and revise to be ready for NAPLAN.
Discuss and practise with the following stimulus questions:
Narrative and Persuasive Plans
Narrative MODIFIED graphic organisers - simple and regular.docxPersuasive graphic organiser final.docxWe will do Persuasive Writing in Term 4 this year since we do poetry to kick off LWW in Term 3 which fits better with Descriptive writing. They can do a stand-alone persuasive piece of writing in Term 4 for this year.
So this year, 2023, writing will be:
T1 - Narrative
T2 - Informative
T3 - Descriptive
T4 - Persuasive
For next year, 2024, the Writing scope and sequence will be:
T1 - Persuasive (persuade people to look after at-risk animals/animals in zoos/how to look after habitats/flotsam)
T2 - Informative (fits with Geography)
T3 - Descriptive (fits with poetry, and LWW, plus "My Special Place" fits with history)
T4 - Narrative (Instead of Flat Stanley stories they could write a narrative based on "The Door" a doorway to another world/part of the world/out in space as a reflection on Narnia and the Earth/Sun unit)
