Unit Plan
Exploring narrative through novels and filmIn this unit students listen to, read and view films and novels with a range of characters and involving flashbacks or shifts in time. They demonstrate understanding of the depiction of characters, setting and events in a chosen film. They create a written comparison of a novel and the film adaptation.
Students listen to and view narrative films and spoken, written and digital film reviews, to create a written film review of a chosen film. Students express and justify opinions about aspects of the novels and films during group discussions.

Australian Curriculum
English - Year 5
Year 5 Achievement StandardReceptive modes (listening, reading and viewing)By the end of Year 5, students explain how text structures assist in understanding the text. They understand how language features, images and vocabulary influence interpretations of characters, settings and events.
When reading, they encounter and decode unfamiliar words using phonic, grammatical, semantic and contextual knowledge. They analyse and explain literal and implied information from a variety of texts. They describe how events, characters and settings in texts are depicted and explain their own responses to them. They listen and ask questions to clarify content.
Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating)Students use language features to show how ideas can be extended. They develop and explain a point of view about a text, selecting information, ideas and images from a range of resources.
Students create imaginative, informative and persuasive texts for different purposes and audiences. They make presentations which include multimodal elements for defined purposes. They contribute actively to class and group discussions, taking into account other perspectives. When writing, they demonstrate understanding of grammar using a variety of sentence types. They select specific vocabulary and use accurate spelling and punctuation. They edit their work for cohesive structure and meaning.

Curriculum Priorities - Pedagogy
Considerations
Prior and future curriculumRelevant prior curriculumStudents require prior experience with:
understanding differences between the language of opinion and feeling and the language of factual reporting or recording understanding how texts vary in complexity and technicality, depending on the approach to the topic, the purpose and the intended audience understanding how texts are made cohesive through the use of linking devices including pronoun reference and text connectives recognising how quotation marks are used in texts to signal dialogue, titles and quoted (direct) speech discussing literary experiences with others, sharing responses and expressing a point of view using metalanguage to describe the effects of ideas, text structures and language features of literary texts discussing how authors and illustrators make stories exciting, moving and absorbing, and hold readers' interest by using various techniques, e.g. character development and plot
tension planning, drafting and publishing imaginative, informative and persuasive texts containing key information and supporting details for a widening range of audiences, demonstrating
increasing control over text structures and language features.Curriculum working towardsThe teaching and learning in this unit work towards the following:
Understand the uses of objective and subjective language and bias (ACELA1517) Understand how authors often innovate on text structures and play with language features to achieve particular aesthetic, humorous and persuasive purposes and effects
(ACELA1518) Understand that cohesive links can be made in texts by omitting or replacing words (ACELA1520) Understand the uses of commas to separate clauses (ACELA1521) Analyse and evaluate similarities and differences in texts on similar topics, themes or plots (ACELT1614) Identify and explain how choices in language, for example modality, emphasis, repetition and metaphor, influence personal response to different texts (ACELT1615) Identify, describe, and discuss similarities and differences between texts, including those by the same author or illustrator, and evaluate characteristics that define an author's
individual style (ACELT1616) Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts, choosing and experimenting with text structures, language features, images and digital resources appropriate to
purpose and audience (ACELY1714)

Monitoring student learningStudent learning should be monitored throughout the teaching and learning process to determine student progress and learning needs.Each lesson provides opportunities to gather evidence about how students are progressing and what they need to learn next.Specific monitoring opportunities in this unit may include observation, consultations and samples of student work. For example:
using objective language using metalanguage to describe the effects of text structure, language features, visual features and multimodal features on an audience using accurate spelling and punctuation including apostrophes of possession creating written comparisons recording information about different films including: text structure, language features, visual features, purpose and audience evaluating different films using metalanguage and justified points of view creating short written responses using metalanguage to describe opinions of the films and effects of the films on an audience participating in informal group discussions comprehending social, cultural and historical contexts in narratives recording information about plot elements in narrative texts planning and publishing a film review.
