Description of activity

Students use the information provided in class to write a reconstruction of events from the perspective of Peter T.

(Reading time 10 minutes. Writing time 50 minutes.)

Context

Students have critically analysed the structure, purpose, language forms and key features of different narrative texts. They have an understanding of the purpose, language features and structures of narrative texts and are aware of writing for a specified audience.

Outcomes

A student:
1. responds to and composes increasingly sophisticated and sustained texts for understanding, interpretation, critical analysis and pleasure
5. transfers understanding of language concepts into new and different contexts
6. experiments with different ways of imaginatively and interpretively transforming experience, information and ideas into texts

Criteria for assessing learning

(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)

Students will be assessed on their ability to:

  • write in an appropriate style for a narrative recount
  • use language appropriate to form, audience and purpose
  • engage, entertain and inform the reader.
