The Fiction Text Features – Posters set includes colourful, student-friendly visual explanations of key narrative elements, such as:
• Title

Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise that texts have different features and purposes, e.g. recount, narrate, express opinion, inform, report and explain.
- We are learning to identify the different text structures and language features of different types of texts, e.g. narratives, recounts, information reports, simple procedures, expression of opinion and responses to texts.
- We are learning to use different language features and structures of a variety of text types relevant to their purpose.
- We are learning to identify that texts serve different purposes and that this affects how they are organised.
- We are learning to identify the different text structures and language features of different types of texts, e.g. simple narratives, persuasives, instructions and expositions.
- We are learning to recognise that capital letters signal proper nouns and commas are used to separate items in lists.
