Curriculum content descriptions
plan, create, edit and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive written and multimodal texts, using visual features, appropriate form and layout, with ideas grouped in simple paragraphs, mostly correct tense, topic-specific vocabulary and correct spelling of most high-frequency and phonetically regular words (AC9E3LY06)
Elaborations
- gathering information and ideas about a topic in preparation for writing, which may include online and digital sources
- selecting appropriate text structure for a writing purpose, and sequencing content for clarity and to have an impact on an audience
- using appropriate simple and compound sentences to express and combine ideas
- using vocabulary, including topic-specific vocabulary, relevant to the type of text and purpose
- using digital tools to plan, sequence, compose and edit texts
- using print and online dictionaries, and spellcheck to edit spelling, realising that spellcheck accuracy depends on understanding the word function; for example, “there” or “their” and “rain” or “reign”
- checking for correct use of apostrophes for contractions and to indicate possession
