Transcript: Explanation: The ‘Why’ and the ‘How’ behind inquiry based student learning Features of Language and Text – Jonathon Bright Phase type Guided. Lessons will follow a simple structure of ‘I do, we do, you do’. Writing Purpose The purpose of these lessons is to teach the students the text structure and language features of an explanation text type. Lesson Foci Lesson three will focus on text structure, which will involve learning about the general statement, series of chronological events and a concluding statement. Lesson four will focus on language features found in explanation text types, which are action verbs and conjunctive/connective words. Lesson Overview Lesson three will have the class read through an explanation text with the teacher pointing out the key elements in the text structure, then have the students do the same in their reading groups with similar texts. Lesson four will have the class read through an explanation text with the teacher pointing out the language features of focus, then have the students complete activity worksheets to reinforce these learnings. Resources Smartboard, copies of explanation text types, activity sheets, writing utensils, coloured pencils and writing books. Outcome Identifies and compares different kinds of texts when reading and viewing and shows an understanding of purpose, audience and subject matter EN2-8B Descriptors Understand how texts vary in complexity and technicality depending on the approach to the topic, the purpose and the intended audience (ACELA1490) Identify organisational patterns and language features of print and visual texts appropriate to a range of purposes Relevance EN2-8B encapsulates the key areas we want the students to grow in when learning about and viewing new text types.
