Lesson 4 - Let's get creative

Outcomes

EN4-2A effectively uses a widening range of processes, skills, strategies and knowledge for responding to and composing texts in different media and technologies

EN4 – 3B uses and describes language forms, features and structures of texts appropriate to a range of purposes, audiences and contexts

Develop and apply contextual knowledge

• analyse and examine how effective authors control and use a variety of clause structures, including clauses embedded within the structure of a noun group/phrase or clause(ACELA1534, ACELA1545)

Understand and apply knowledge of language forms and features

• interpret and analyse language choices, including sentence patterns, dialogue, imagery and other language features, in short stories, literary essays and plays(ACELT1767)

EN4 – 5C thinks imaginatively, creatively, interpretively and critically about information, ideas and arguments to respond to and compose texts.

Develop and apply contextual knowledge

• explore the ways individual interpretations of texts are influenced by students' own knowledge, values and cultural assumptions

• critically consider the ways in which meaning is shaped by context, purpose, form, structure, style, content, language choices and their own personal perspective
