Language – Text Structure and Organisation

Australian Curriculum English – Language: Text structure and organisation, Foundation to Year 6, is a series of seven books written specifically to support the new national English curriculum. These books contain a comprehensive range of resources to assist teachers in implementing the sub-strand of Text structure and organisation within the Language strand of English. All content descriptions of the sub-strand have been included. While each book focuses on this sub-strand, interrelated links to other strands of Literature and Literacy have been incorporated.

Each section of the book supports a specific content description of the sub-strand and follows a consistent format which includes the following information over a number of pages:

• Teacher information, with an explanation of related terms from the content description
• Student vocabulary
• An explanation of what the content description means
• Teaching points
• Elaborations based on the content description
• Activities to develop the content description
• Blackline masters for students
• Resource sheets including card games, reference charts and strategy suggestions
• Assessment checklist
• Interrelated English links for other strands
• Table showing the language modes, general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities covered in each content description
• Answers for blackline master activities.

The number of pages in each content description of the sub-strand vary within each book, as do the number of pages of each book in different year levels.
