NSW Outcomes:

EN2-CWT-02 plans, creates and revises written texts for informative purposes, using text features, sentence-level grammar, punctuation and word-level language for a target audience.

By the end of this unit, students will:
  • Maintain appropriate, consistent past, present or future tense across a text (CrT8, CrA4)
  • Use coordinating conjunctions in compound sentences to compare and contrast, or for addition (CrA4)
  • Use subordinating conjunctions in complex sentences to signal sequence, reason or cause and effect (CrA6)
  • Create cause-and-effect statements (CrT1)
  • Use exclamatory sentences to emphasise a point or express a strong emotion (CrA4)
  • Use interrogative sentences to ask a direct question, or for rhetorical effect to engage the reader with a viewpoint (CrA4)
  • Use capital letters to indicate the beginning of a sentence, proper nouns, headings and subheadings, to indicate the beginning of a poetry line, for emphasis, and when using acronyms (PuN5)
  • Use apostrophes for contractions, and to show singular and plural possession (PuN4, PuN5, SpG9)

This resource isn’t just for NSW teachers - it’s fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum Version 9 too! The bundle also includes a complete unit of work with outcomes matched to the Australian Curriculum.

Australian Curriculum Outcomes:

AC9E3LA08 understand that verbs are anchored in time through tense

AC9E4LA04 identify how text connectives including temporal and conditional words, and topic word associations are used to sequence and connect ideas
AC9E4LA06 understand that complex sentences contain one independent clause and at least one dependent clause typically joined by a subordinating conjunction to create relationships, such as time and causality
AC9E4LA07 investigate how quoted (direct) and reported (indirect) speech are used
AC9E4LA09 understand past, present and future tenses and their impact on meaning in a sentence
AC9E4LA12 understand that punctuation signals dialogue through quotation marks and that dialogue follows conventions for the use of capital letters, commas and boundary punctuation
AC9E4LE05 create and edit literary texts by developing storylines, characters and settings
