Unit 2: Persuasive - Year 5 is an English language strand unit for Year 5 students. It aligns to the Australian Curriculum: English Year Level Achievement Standards: 
  • Identify the numerous ways in which noun groups and adjective groups and phrases can be expanded to give a more thorough description of a person, place, thing or idea (ACELA1508).
  • Create and publish creative, persuasive and informative print and multimodal writings, selecting text structures, linguistic elements, images and sound that are appropriate for the purpose and audience (ACELY1704).
  • Understand that a complex sentence contains at least one subordinate clause as well as the distinction between main and subordinate clauses (ACELA1507).
  • Be aware that vocabulary can be used to convey meaning more precisely and that different circumstances can give words varied meanings (ACELA1512).
  • Recognise how to spell innovative words by applying your understanding of existing words, base words, prefixes, suffixes, word origins, letter patterns and generalisations about spelling (ACELA1513).
  • Examine unusual plurals and learn how a word's meaning or grammatical structure can be altered by a suffix (ACELA1514).
  • Reread and edit the work of the student and others using established standards for the language and text structures (ACELY1705).
