Student Led Conference

 
This is my Term 4 Student Led Conference

Identify language features in contemporary texts

This is a follow up from a breakout.

We read the text firework and then we had to find examples of language features and write why they are used.

Reading

This is a follow up activity from one of our breakouts.

We read a text and ten had to fill in an online form.

First we had to figure out what the authors purpose was. To do this you had to think about why the author wrote this. You choose from persuade, inform and entertain. An easy way to remember this is P.I.E. The text we read was inform.

Then we had to decide what words were used in the text. To do this you have to decide if it's a a formal text or not. If it is then it will be precise words. If it's not it will use slang. The text we read was neither so it was an everyday text which uses high frequency words.

The End!

Reading

This is a follow up we got after one of our breakouts.

First we had to decide what the style of writing was. Our choices were; descriptive, historic, formal and poetic. This text is descriptive.

Next we had to decide what the authors purpose was. Our choices were; persuade, inform and entertain. This text is inform.

Then we had to decide what type of words were used. Our choices were; high frequency, precise and technical. This text uses technical words.

After that we had to decide if the text stayed the same the whole way through or if it changed. This text stayed the same.

Finally we had to write why the text stays the same or if it changes. This text stays the same because the language features are consistent throughout the text.
