Australian Curriculum English: Year Six Learning Sequence - Create Narratives, Performances and Reports

The Year Six learning sequence contained in this post was developed by teacher Sofia Delios from Bertram PS. Sofia is a valued member of our Woodlands Australian Curriculum Implementation (WACI) Club which meets each month to discuss planning and assessment in Australian Curriculum:English. During term 1 of this year, WACI Club focused on planning for creating narratives using AC:E. Thanks Sofia for being a guest on our blog and allowing us to share your plan!
