Oz-e-English Writing (Creative)
In Lessons 1 to 45, students will:
- use the stimulus text to investigate the structure of narrative texts
- write narrative texts
- examine the format of a narrative using examples from literature with the theme of action
- learn how to recognise the crucial components of a narrative and apply this understanding to their own narrative writings
- create new texts together and follow the example texts' building instructions
- use a handheld camera as a metaphor to recognise the changing scenes that make up the narrative
- use the metaphor of a drone to recognise the changing scenes that comprise the narrative.
- Determine the general framework and constituent parts of a narrative.
- Enhance the exemplar text using ARMS.
- Plan the aspects of an action narrative using the anchor chart.
- Create an action story using the anchor chart.
Progress Tests
End-of-Unit Assessment
- Progress tests are conducted after Lesson 5. They allow teachers to monitor student understanding of the concepts taught over the past five lessons and identify where reteaching is needed.
- The Teaching Guide contains the progress test script and there is a handout for students to write their answers on.
End-of-Unit Assessment
- Week 10 is the end-of-unit assessment, which has the same variety of question formats as the progress tests (e.g., multiple choice, filling in blanks/punctuation, editing, constructing, and improving sentences) to assess student mastery of sentence level writing development from the unit.
- The Teaching Guide contains the testing questions and the end-of-unit assessment handout for students to write their answers on.
