Connected Outcomes
English
Students will continue to explore persuasive texts, including discussion and exposition. Students will also consolidate writing descriptive texts. There will be a continued focus on visual literacy, locating information in a variety of texts. Each class will complete a novel study with a focus on inferential understanding with the super six comprehension strategies.

Science and Technology outcomes are addressed in other units within this Stage. There are no Science and Technology outcomes linked to this unit.

Students will be engaged in:

Talking & Listening, Reading, Writing a variety of text types to develop critical literacy skills. Students will be expected to apply higher order thinking when producing written texts and when comprehending and analysing texts written by others. All strands of mathematics. Students will be expected to use higher order thinking to complete maths algorithms and increasingly complex problem solving.

Creative Arts
In the arts, students explore representations of self-identity, particularly in relation to others. The personal style of how images are represented may reflect aspects of personal identity which may or may not be exhibited in other aspects of their lives. The most obvious way to represent identity in art is through portraiture.

HSIE
Students develop an understanding of a shared Australian identity through the exploration of the roles of individuals, families and groups that contribute to communities. Students research significant symbols of state and national identity and examine a range of community groups. Inquiries are inclusive of Aboriginal communities and heritage. Students examine how a sense of being Australian has changed over time and has been influenced by significant events, particularly in the local area. Through these inquiries, students develop an understanding of their own identity and values related to being Australian.
