What Language Do I Need?
This worksheet asks students to decide on the audience and purpose for 12 scenarios. Once decided, students will record whether formal or informal language would be most suitable. This worksheet could be used as an explicit teaching activity, independent activity, during literacy rotations or a guided language group. This resource is part of the Formal and Informal Language Unit Plan.
