I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In this unit I have been learning about:
The parts of speech.
The types of nouns.
The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging defining parts of speech because I wasn't always know what one the word went to.

Something new I learnt was " That band is awesome!" is a Command.

adverbial clauses

I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning fun because it was an easy task to complete.

In this activity link , I had to highlight the part of the sentence that we think is the adverbial clause.

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is: everything happens more quickly.

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are I have to make my story happen more quickly and use shorter words meaning longer words.

Reading I can identify the way that writers use language and ideas to suit their purpose.

L4 Author’s Purpose follow up	I can  describe how to identify author's purpose. I can describe the language used by authors to achieve their purpose.	I can compare and contrast language and ideas between texts with similar author’s purpose.
Text: Six days a week	The author’s purpose is… To inform I know this because…. because this girl was telling us about what she did	Language used to support purpose. Informal text eg pretty sure	Ideas used to support purpose Longer sentences with lots of dialogue
Text: independence games	The author’s purpose is… To inform I know this because….. Because they were telling us about the independence games	Language used to support purpose. Formal text eg similar abilities	Ideas used to support purpose. Shorter sentences with lots of info
My Evaluation	After reading both texts and comparing and contrasting language and ideas used to support authors purpose) The text which I think most achieved its purpose was……… the independence games	My reasons for this evaluation are…….. (list at least 3) Because of the shorter sentences it is easy to read the text has all of the info about the independence games it had some interesting words
