English: Being Critically Literate
EDUP4076
This unit of study is focussed on the use of literary texts in the classroom through pedagogy that combines the syllabus strands of Reading, Writing, Talking, Listening and Viewing. Literary texts such as picture books, novels, plays and poetry as well as other texts of popular culture will be used as the basis of teaching the English curriculum to children in the middle years (NSW Stages 2 and 3, grades 3,4,5 and 6). The emphasis will be on developing children's critical comprehension and creative composition of a range of literary texts. Understanding how to assess a child's strengths and needs in reading, writing, speaking and listening will also be an important component of this unit.
