ENGLISH OVERVIEW YEAR 5 (TERM 1/2)

UNIT TITLE: BACKGROUND:

The Art of Persuasion (PART A) This unit has been developed in two parts in response to the introduction of the National Curriculum. The unit writers decided to work with persuasive texts as Year 5 is a NAPLAN testing year. Whilst persuasive texts pervade the lives of students (oral, written and visual) the writers recognised that students had differing levels of competencies in writing persuasively. It is expected that teachers, through ongoing evaluation of student needs, will select activities that will best aid the learning of their current group of students.

UNIT OUTLINE
Students: explore a variety of persuasive texts including adverts in print and on TV/ radio, written / oral expositions. Analyse structure and features and devices of genre. Evaluate their effectiveness for a given audience. Create adverts and expositions using structure and features of genre.

GENERAL CAPABILITIES
Literacy Students become literate as they develop the skills to learn and communicate confidently at school and to become effective individuals, community members, workers and citizens. These skills include listening, reading, viewing, writing, speaking and creating print, visual and digital materials accurately and purposefully within and across all learning areas. Literacy involves students engaging with the language and literacy demands of each learning area. As they become literate students learn to: interpret, analyse, evaluate, respond to and construct increasingly complex Numeracy Students become numerate as they develop the capacity to recognise and understand the role of mathematics in the world around them and the confidence, willingness and ability to apply mathematics to their lives in ways that are constructive and meaningful. As they become numerate, students develop and use mathematical skills related to: Calculation and number Patterns and relationships Proportional reasoning Spatial reasoning Statistical literacy Measurement. Information and Communication Technology Students develop ICT competence when they learn to: Investigate with ICT: using ICT to plan and refine information searches; to locate and access different types of data and information and to verify the integrity of data when investigating questions, topics or problems Create with ICT: using ICT to generate ideas, plans, processes and products to create solutions to challenges or learning area tasks Communicate with ICT: using ICT to communicate ideas and information with others adhering to social protocols appropriate to the communicative context (purpose, audience and technology) Critical and Creative Thinking Students develop critical and creative thinking as they learn to generate and evaluate knowledge, ideas and possibilities, and use them when seeking new pathways or solutions. In learning to think broadly and deeply students learn to use reason and imagination to direct their thinking for different purposes. In the context of schooling, critical and creative thinking are integral to activities that require reason, logic, imagination and innovation. As they develop critical and creative thinking students learn to: pose insightful and purposeful questions apply logic and strategies to uncover

texts (Comprehension and composition) understand, use, write and produce different types of text (Texts) manage and produce grammatical patterns and structures in texts (Grammar) make appropriate word selections and decode and comprehend new (basic, specialised and technical) vocabulary (Vocabulary) use and produce a range of visual materials to learn and demonstrate learning (Visual information)

Operate ICT: applying technical knowledge and skills to use ICT efficiently and to manage data and information when and as needed Apply appropriate social and ethical protocols and practices to operate and manage ICT.

Ethical Behaviour Students develop ethical behaviour as they learn to understand and act in accordance with ethical principles. This includes understanding the role of ethical principles, values and virtues in human life; acting with moral integrity; acting with regard for others; and having a desire and capacity to work for the common good.

List features to be included ( eg name and explanation of product, why you should buy it, where you can buy it, cost etc) Construct catchy phrase using alliteration, rhyme etc) Sequence and organise advert so that audience attention is gained.

Jointly construct advert for new shop or an event. Use same scaffold. What features could be included? Invite ideas for jingle etc Discuss audience and what is likely to attract them. Sequence components of advert together.

In groups, or pairs support students to plan their own advert using the scaffold. Less able could work with assistant. (NB Could use support material in Wundabars Targeting Text Word Dash, storyboard etc p 118 121)

Students work independently to refine their advert and begin to practise performing it.

Week 3 Model listening skills when analysing TV adverts. Explain how you can focus on one aspect at a time and record what you have heard using a tick and flick chart.

Week 3 Listen to an advert with a specific focus in mind. Children record what they hear using a tick and flick chart. (eg number of repetitions, examples of command form of verb) Review and write students suggestions on board. Week 4 Select different students to repeat the same advert.
