The sample text in each unit has a tag that describes the purpose of the text. Activities to analyse text structures are covered in the Grammar Rules! TRB Ages 8-12, e.g. p31-40

Notes

(EN3-1A) Communicates effectively for a variety of audiences and purposes using increasingly challenging topics, ideas, issues and language forms and features

The content covered in the sample texts provides opportunities for pair group and whole class discussions. For example Units 8, 17, 19, 21, 27, 28, 34. Students can present the texts created for the ʻTry it yourself!ʼ activities to class members, the school community or wider audiences, as appropriate.

(EN3-2A) Composes, edits and presents well-structured and coherent texts

Every ʻTry it yourself!ʼ activity suggests a text that students can create, focusing on a particular text structure or language feature.

(EN3-3A) Uses an integrated range of skills, strategies and knowledge to read, view and comprehend a wide range of texts in different media and technologies

Each unit has a model text for students to examine. Media text types provided include newspaper article, advertisement, and radio and television interview transcript. The ʻTry it yourself!ʼ activities at the end of each unit provide scope for comparing ways that different texts present ideas differently. For example, Unit 13 requires students to transform a newspaper ad into a radio ad. Sample text types include recount, description, narrative, response, discussion, report, procedure, exposition, explanation. The balloon alongside each text defines the purpose of the text. Students analyse the language features of each text.

(EN3-7C) Thinks imaginatively, creatively, interpretively and critically about information and ideas and identifies connections between texts when responding to and composing texts

Text structures and features are explicitly taught. Texts include: explanation, procedure (instructions, recommendations), description, poem, information report, narrative (including myths and a radio play), recount, discussion, persuasion (advertising, argument, debate and speech), interview and response. The sample texts in each unit can be used as models to compare with other texts for similarities and differences in the ways a topic is presented. The ʻTry it yourself!ʼ activity in each unit requires students to create their own texts. Grammar Rules! explicitly teaches students about the resources available in the language system. This supports their growing awareness of techniques used by authors and illustrators.
