Lesson 8 Explaining Language Choices

Learning Intention
I can reflect on my own writing to identify why certain language choices are effective

Key Competency
Using language

Success Criteria
My poems are accompanied by a commentary explaining my language choices




LEARNING TASK 1 
  • Have a look at this site with your group and produce a list of success criteria for a poem commentary.
  • Don't forget spelling, punctuation and grammar on your list!
LEARNING TASK 2
  • Compare this with another group's list. Are there many differences? Are the differences important? If so, negotiate a new list that you all agree on.
  • If you want to compare lists with another group, feel free to discuss with as many people as you like to ensure you are happy with your success criteria.
  • Don't forget to add your personal targets!
  • Post your final success criteria on your blog.
LEARNING TASK 3
  • Choose 2 poems in your poetry portfolio that you think you can write a good commentary on.
  • Write a commentary for each poem in one Google Doc focusing on the language choices that you made and the effect that you think these could have on a reader.
  • Check your commentary against the success criteria and tomorrow we will use peer assessment to ensure that it is the best you can do.
  • If it is, you can add it to your portfolio.
