[Key concepts: mode, medium, language features; Key processes: noticing, comparing, describing, explaining]
(ACLFRU032)
Elaborations
- noticing and applying features of familiar types of texts such as greetings, requests, weather reports or recipes through activities such as ‘genre-swapping’; that is, transferring features associated with one genre to a different one, for example, greetings that sound like announcements (Attention, Madame, comment-allez vous!) or weather reports that read like recipes (Un litre de pluie, six nuages…)
- recognising how different textual elements combine to make meaning (for example, the images, font and script of a web page; the layout, title and illustrations in a picture book; the highlighting of names, dates and times on an invitation), and copying and creating templates to store as learning resources
- analysing features of simple spoken and written texts in French, such as a verbal greeting or a written postcard (noting, for example, the sequencing of the message, terms of address and ways of signing off), and comparing with similar texts in English
