Australian Curriculum

English - Year 3Year 3 Achievement StandardReceptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)By the end of Year 3, students understand how content can be organised using different text structures depending on the purpose of the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary choices are used for different effects.

They read texts that contain varied sentence structures, a range of punctuation conventions, and images that provide extra information. They use phonics and word knowledge to fluently read more complex words. They identify literal and implied meaning connecting ideas in different parts of a text. They select information, ideas and events in texts that relate to their own lives and to other texts. They listen to others' views and respond appropriately using interaction skills.

Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)Students understand how language features are used to link and sequence ideas. They understand how language can be used to express feelings and opinions on topics. Their texts include writing and images to express and develop, in some detail, experiences, events, information, ideas and characters.

Students create a range of texts for familiar and unfamiliar audiences. They contribute actively to class and group discussions, asking questions, providing useful feedback and making presentations. They demonstrate understanding of grammar and choose vocabulary and punctuation appropriate to the purpose and context of their writing. They use knowledge of letter-sound relationships including consonant and vowel clusters and high-frequency words to spell words accurately. They re-read and edit their writing, checking their work for appropriate vocabulary, structure and meaning. They write using joined letters that are accurately formed and consistent in size.

Content DescriptionsLanguage Literacy Literature

Expressing and developing ideas

Identify the effect on audiences of techniques, for example shot size, vertical camera angle and layout in picture books, advertisements and film segments (ACELA1483)

Interacting with others

Listen to and contribute to conversations and discussions to share information and ideas and negotiate in collaborative situations (ACELY1676)

Interpreting, analysing, evaluating

Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to evaluate texts by drawing on a growing knowledge of context, text structures and language features (ACELY1680)

Creating literature Create imaginative texts based on characters,

settings and events from students' own and other cultures using visual features, for example perspective, distance and angle (ACELT1601)

Responding to literature Develop criteria for establishing personal

preferences for literature (ACELT1598)

Literature and context Discuss texts in which characters, events and

settings are portrayed in different ways, and speculate on the authors' reasons

Creating texts

Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts demonstrating increasing control over text structures and language features and selecting print,and multimodal elements appropriate to the audience and purpose (ACELY1682)

Re-read and edit texts for meaning, appropriate structure, grammatical choices and punctuation (ACELY1683)

Use software including word processing programs with growing speed and efficiency to construct and edit texts featuring visual, print and audio elements (ACELY1685)

Write using joined letters that are clearly formed and consistent in size (ACELY1684)

(ACELT1594)

Curriculum Priorities - Pedagogy

Considerations

Prior and future curriculumRelevant prior curriculumStudents require prior experience with the following:

Understand that different types of texts have identifiable text structures and language features that help the text serve its purpose (ACELA1463) Understand how texts are made cohesive through language features, including word associations, synonyms, and antonyms (ACELA1464) Understand that nouns represent people, places, concrete objects and abstract concepts; that there are three types of nouns: common, proper and pronouns; and that noun

groups/phrases can be expanded using articles and adjectives (ACELA1468) Identify visual representations of characters' actions, reactions, speech and thought processes in narratives, and consider how these images add to or contradict or multiply the

meaning of accompanying words (ACELA1469) Discuss how depictions of characters in print, sound and images reflect the contexts in which they were created (ACELT1587) Discuss the characters and settings of different texts and explore how language is used to present these features in different ways (ACELT1591) Create events and characters using different media that develop key events and characters from literary texts (ACELT1593) Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to analyse texts by drawing on growing knowledge of context, language and visual features and print and

multimodal text structures (ACELY1670) Create short imaginative, informative and persuasive texts using growing knowledge of text structures and language features for familiar and some less familiar audiences, selecting

print and multimodal elements appropriate to the audience and purpose (ACELY1671) Re-read and edit text for spelling, sentence-boundary punctuation and text structure (ACELY1672) Construct texts featuring print, visual and audio elements using software, including word processing programs (ACELY1674)

Curriculum working towardsThe teaching and learning in this unit work towards the following:

Understand how texts vary in complexity and technicality depending on the approach to the topic, the purpose and the intended audience (ACELA1490) Understand how texts are made cohesive through the use of linking devices including pronoun reference and text connectives (ACELA1491) Understand how adverb groups/phrases and prepositional phrases work in different ways to provide circumstantial details about an activity (ACELA1495) Explore the effect of choices when framing an image, placement of elements in the image, and salience on composition of still and moving images in a range of types of texts

(ACELA1496) Make connections between the ways different authors may represent similar storylines, ideas and relationships (ACELT1602) Discuss how authors and illustrators make stories exciting, moving and absorbing and hold readers' interest by using various techniques, for example character development and plot

tension (ACELT1605) Create literary texts that explore students' own experiences and imagining (ACELT1607) Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning to expand content knowledge, integrating and linking ideas and analysing and evaluating texts (ACELY1692) Plan, draft and publish 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 (ACELY1694) Reread and edit for meaning by adding, deleting or moving words or word groups to improve content and structure (ACELY1695) Use a range of software including word processing programs to construct, edit and publish written text, and select, edit and place visual, print and audio elements (ACELY1697)

For example:

recognising how context shapes language choices in different types of texts discussing the features of online texts that enhance navigation comprehending the visual language features that are used in images to match the language choices used stating authors' reasons for why characters, events and settings are portrayed in different ways developing criteria for establishing preference for literature evaluating texts and building literal and inferred meaning by drawing on context, text structure and language features using paragraphs to organise ideas in texts creating texts based on characters, settings and events from own or other cultures, using visual features planning, drafting and publishing imaginative texts, demonstrating increasing control over text structures and language features re-reading and editing texts for meaning using software with growing speed and efficiency to construct and edit texts.

FeedbackFeedback may relate to reading and writing. In this unit this may include:

comprehending stories by identifying the way the setting shapes events and influences the mood of the narrative understanding the language choices used to present the processes of the characters expressing and justifying preferences for specific texts stating reasons why the author has portrayed settings, events and characters in different ways understanding how visual language features have been used to suit the context and purpose of text writing and editing texts, using text structural elements, visual language features and language choices to make meaning.
