Learning goals
- We are learning that bare assertions (a claim of fact without supporting evidence) must take into account different points of view.
- We are learning to understand, interpret and experiment with sound devices and imagery, including simile, metaphor and personification, in narratives, shape poetry, songs, anthems and odes.
- We are learning to create literary texts using realistic and fantasy settings and characters that draw on our own experiences.
- We are learning to create texts by experimenting with structures, ideas and stylistic features of authors, e.g. narrative view point, structure of stanzas and juxtaposition.
- We are learning to create and edit texts by experimenting with figurative language, story lines, characters and settings.
