English - Year 5
Year 5 Achievement Standard
Receptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)By the end of Year 5, students explain how text structures assist in understanding the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary influence interpretations of characters, settings and events.
When reading, they encounter and decode unfamiliar words using phonic, grammatical, semantic and contextual knowledge. They analyse and explain literal and implied information from a variety of texts. They describe how events, characters and settings in texts are depicted and explain their own responses to them. They listen and ask questions to clarify content.
Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)Students use language features to show how ideas can be extended. They develop and explain a point of view about a text, selecting information, ideas and images from a range of resources.
Students create imaginative, informative and persuasive texts for different purposes and audiences. They make presentations which include multimodal elements for defined purposes. They contribute actively to class and group discussions, taking into account other perspectives. When writing, they demonstrate understanding of grammar using a variety of sentence types. They select specific vocabulary and use accurate spelling and punctuation. They edit their work for cohesive structure and meaning.

Curriculum Priorities - Pedagogy
Considerations
Prior and future curriculumRelevant prior curriculumStudents require prior experience with:
understanding how texts vary in complexity and technicality depending on the approach to the topic, the purpose and the intended audience understanding how texts are made cohesive through the use of linking devices including pronoun reference and text connectives understanding that the meaning of sentences can be enriched through the use of noun groups/phrases and verb groups/phrases and prepositional phrases incorporating new vocabulary from a range of sources into students' own texts, including vocabulary encountered in research making connections between the ways different authors may represent similar storylines, ideas and relationships, using metalanguage to describe the effects of ideas, text structures
and language features of literary texts using metalanguage to describe the effects of ideas, text structures and language features of literary texts understanding, interpreting and experimenting with a range of devices and deliberate word play in poetry and other literary texts, e.g. nonsense words, spoonerisms, neologisms and
puns identifying characteristic features used in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to meet the purpose of the text planning, drafting and publishing imaginative, informative and persuasive texts containing key information and supporting details for a widening range of audiences, demonstrating
increasing control over text structures and language features re-reading and editing for meaning by adding, deleting or moving words or word groups to improve content and structure.
Curriculum working towardsThe teaching and learning in this unit work towards the following:
Understand how authors often innovate on text structures and play with language features to achieve particular aesthetic, humorous and persuasive purposes and effects (ACELA1518)
Understand that cohesive links can be made in texts by omitting or replacing words (ACELA1520) Investigate how complex sentences can be used in a variety of ways to elaborate, extend and explain ideas (ACELA1522) Investigate how vocabulary choices, including evaluative language can express shades of meaning, feeling and opinion (ACELA1525) Make connections between students' own experiences and those of characters and events represented in texts drawn from different historical, social and cultural contexts
(ACELT1613) Identify and explain how choices in language, for example modality, emphasis, repetition and metaphor, influence personal response to different texts (ACELT1615) Identify the relationship between words, sounds, imagery and language patterns in narratives and poetry such as ballads, limericks and free verse (ACELT1617) Analyse how text structures and language features work together to meet the purpose of a text (ACELY1711) Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts, choosing and experimenting with text structures, language features, images and digital resources appropriate to
purpose and audience (ACELY1714) Re-read and edit students' own and others' work using agreed criteria and explaining editing choices (ACELY1715)

For example:
comprehending subject matter of different forms of poems, including topic and form identifying examples of text structures used to construct meaning in poems, such as verses/stanzas, lines, rhyming patterns, rhythm and punctuation identifying language features used for purpose and effect in poems, such as poetic devices (imagery and sound devices), precise vocabulary and noun groups recording information about different poems, including text structure, language features, purpose and audience comprehending social, cultural and historical contexts in poems creating short written responses, using metalanguage to describe opinions of poems and effects of poems on an audience.
FeedbackFeedback may relate to reading and writing. In this unit this may include:
reading strategies to understand, interpret and analyse poems understanding the effect of text structures and language features of poems understanding and reflection of the social, cultural and historical contexts in poems understanding the effect of text structures and language features of a written poetry analysis planning, drafting and creating a poetry analysis.
