Australian Curriculum: Foundation Learning Sequence - Create Short Statement Narratives

The Australian Curriculum: English Year Level Description for Foundation states:

"Students create a range of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts including pictorial representations, short statements, performances, recounts and poetry" 

Create in the Australian Curriculum is defined in the glossary as "develop and/or produce spoken, written or multimodal texts in print or digital forms."

Multimodal means more than one mode is represented. This could be a combination of pictures, words, sounds - more than ONE mode. 

The Foundation learning sequence contained in this post was developed by teacher Belinda Brady from Woodlands PS in our work as a Teacher Development School.

The sequence is linked to The Australian Curriculum - English content descriptions.

The sequence refers to the text "The Wrong Book" by Nick Bland.
