English Unit: Degrees of Language Formality
This comprehensive and detailed unit plan contains an abundance of resources to support students when learning about formal and informal language use. The unit begins with a presentation to assist teachers when explicitly teaching the use of formal and informal language. The presentation aligns with the student reference card, posters and accompanying worksheets. At the completion of the unit, there is an assessment that teachers are able to utilise to assess student learning.
