Teaching Resources

Overview
Oz-e-English: Writing (Language) Year 5 is an English unit for Year 5 students. It aligns to the Australian Curriculum: Language Content Strands:

Text Structure and Organisation
  • Understand how texts vary in purpose, structure and topic, as well as the degree of formality (ACELA1504).  
  • Understand how the grammatical category of possessives is signalled through apostrophes and how to use apostrophes with common and proper nouns (ACELA1506).

Expressing and Developing Ideas
  • Understand the difference between main and subordinate clauses and that a complex sentence involves at least one subordinate clause (ACELA1507). 
  • Understand how noun groups/phrases and adjective groups/phrases can be expanded in a variety of ways to provide a fuller description of the person, place, thing or idea (ACELA1508). 
  • Understand the use of vocabulary to express greater precision of meaning, and know that words can have different meanings in different contexts (ACELA1512).

    Note: Information on this page is subject to change as this program is currently being updated to align with version 9.0 of the Australian Curriculum. GGSA will release an updated version in early 2023.
