ACU Student name: Carlos Alvarez Cruz Storybook Reference: Parkes, B (1997). Who is in the Shed?. McGraw-hill education. Berkshire, England. Time: 40 minutes approximately School: Saint Ambroses School Proposed Year: Level 2

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to: 1. Understand that different types of texts have identifiable text structures and language features that help the text serve its purpose (ACELA1463 / ACARA). Identifying the topic and type of a text through its visual presentation, for example cover design, packaging, title/subtitle and images (book presentation). 2. Understand the use of vocabulary about familiar and new topics and experiment with and begin to make conscious choices of vocabulary to suit audience and purpose ( ACELA1470 / ACARA). Interpreting new terminology drawing on prior knowledge, analogies and connections with known words (word wall). 3. Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to analyse texts by drawing on growing knowledge of context, language and visual features and print and multimodal text structures (ACELY1670). Making connections between information in print and images; building on and using prior knowledge and vocabulary; making valid inferences using information in a text and students own prior knowledge; predicting, asking and answering questions as they read, and summarising and reviewing meaning (reading comprehension). 4. Demonstrate listening and understanding by recounting events or processes in appropriate sequence (COMPRENHENTION LS2 V / QSA / Drama/role-play)
