Explore how types of texts are organised according to their purpose, such as to recount, narrate, express opinion, inform, report and explain <ul> <li>discussing and comparing the purposes and organisation of familiar texts</li> <li>becoming familiar with the typical stages of types of texts, for example recount and procedure</li> <li>recognising that the structure of a text may include words and pictures; for example, an informative text may include words, illustrations and diagrams</li> </ul>
Use interaction skills including turn-taking, speaking clearly, using active listening behaviours and responding to the read or spoken contributions of others, and contributing ideas and questions <ul> <li>using turn-taking in group and pair work</li> <li>building a conversation by staying on topic, supporting other speakers, eliciting responses, listening supportively and attentively, asking relevant questions, providing useful feedback and prompting</li> <li>participating in informal and structured class, group and pair discussions about content area topics, ideas and information</li> <li>interacting appropriately with peers, teachers and visitors</li> <li>formulating different types of questions to ask a speaker or someone reading aloud, such as open and closed questions and ‘when’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions</li> </ul>
Identify how different types of texts across the curriculum are organised differently and use language features depending on purposes <ul> <li>identifying the typical features of a text, for example a typical introduction to a narrative or the use of dot points in instructions</li> <li>identifying that different types of texts might have different forms; for example, an expression of opinion might be in the form of a poster, email or brochure</li> <li>identifying the organisation and language features in texts such as narratives, recounts, information reports, simple procedures, expression of opinion and responses to texts (including poetry), and discussing their purposes</li> </ul>
Use interaction skills when engaging with topics and texts, actively listening to others, receiving instructions and extending their own ideas, speaking appropriately, expressing and responding to opinions, making statements, and giving instructions <ul> <li>exploring ways to comment on what others say, including using sentence starters such as ‘I like the way you …’, ‘I agree that …’, ‘I have a different thought …’, and ‘I’d like to say something different …’</li> <li>demonstrating appropriate listening behaviours, responding to and paraphrasing a partner’s contribution to a discussion, for example in think-pair-share activities</li> <li>asking relevant questions and making connections with personal experiences and the contributions of others</li> <li>understanding how to disagree or respectfully offer an alternative</li> </ul>
