This term to support our focus on persuasive texts and speeches, students will be reading non-fiction texts.  The progressions we are working towards are listed below.

Reading: 

Processes and Strategies: Make connections between the text being read and prior knowledge, personal experiences and knowledge of the wider world including other text/film/media 

Purposes and audience:  Identify and evaluate the author's purpose and ways in which writers use language and ideas to suit their purposes
