6S has been hard at work to start the year. In English, students have been developing skills to engage, impact and effect readers by cleverly incorporating a purpose, developing a specific voice (tone), using ‘show don’t tells’ and senses. The sizzling starts that have been created as part of our ‘short story – narrative’ unit have been of outstanding quality. As readers, we have delved into analysing, inferring and critiquing many of the same aspects (engaging, impacting and effecting readers) in a range of texts. We have also begun comparing similarities and differences between texts, including character traits, plot structures, themes and issues. Take a look at the samples attached for a taste of what impressive learning has been happening in 6S or come into our classroom and see for yourself!
