Logical Sequence of Five Lessons
The unit of work aims to give students the knowledge to complete the rich multimodal task, scaffolded by the eight lessons prior. The five specific lessons focus on different aspects of literacy, building upon the knowledge students have explored and obtained during their learning experiences throughout the unit. The first of the five focus lessons enables students to develop knowledge of visual grammar essential for subsequent lessons. The second focus lesson explores ways in which students can develop a deeper knowledge of elements of written grammar through poetry. In the third lesson students apply and deepen their knowledge of visual grammar to create a visual text that enables them to explore insects and dragons through the medium of advertisement. The fourth lesson focuses on incorporating a variety of modes to establish how a single meaning can be produced from a multimodal text. Lastly, the students are engaged in a task which consolidates their acquired knowledge of visual, written, spoken literacy in conjunction with the medium of ICT. These lessons are sequenced in such a way that creates a coherent unit of work which develops literacy skills through the achievement of the outcomes mentioned.
