Decision about using the table of criteria at the content descriptor

If I look at the table of criteria in the year 2 standards elaborations; I should be able to see that both 
  • Receptive Modes 
  • Productive Modes 
We can ignore the productive modes rows for this content descriptor, refer to details click this link: Curriculum - Unit of Work (UoW)
Curriculum content descriptions
Identify visual representations of characters’ actions, reactions, speech and thought processes in narratives, and consider how these images add to or contradict or multiply the meaning of accompanying words (ACELA1469)


Key learning objectives
  • Students write simple information texts such as descriptions, reports, recounts and explanations that draw on their knowledge of Vietnam.
  • Students use culturally specific vocabulary appropriate to their subject matter.
  • Students understand that writers in all cultural contexts present information and ideas about people and events and give opinions that can be positive or negative.
  • Students recognise how their language choices, including the thinking, feeling and doing verbs they use, support their opinions.
Educational value
  • The unit provides information about the country, peoples and cultures of Vietnam in a picture book format.
  • It includes First Steps literacy procedures to familiarise students with the structure and organisation of texts.
  • It provides activities for students to explore the countries, people and cultures of Vietnam.
  • It includes activities that develop intercultural skills and understandings.
  • It provides activities to explore personal responses to written and visual text, to share ideas and to form opinions about other cultures.

Elaborations
  • comparing two versions of the same story, for example ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, 
  • identifying how a character’s actions and reactions are depicted differently by different illustrators
