Text+Types

Text types Chapter 15 of Susan Hills text focuses on the many different text types. Below is a list of the many types. Page 309 of Hill's text outlines in great details the purposes, frameworks, language features and activities & examples.   I have explored narrative in more depth and provided examples of how narrative texts could be introduced into the classroom environment.  =Narrative  = = = <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> //What is the purpose?// It is aimed at entertaining the children.
 * Recounts
 * Poetry & Songs
 * Transactional
 * Manuals/Procedures
 * Explanation
 * Persuasive Arguments
 * Reports

//How is it set up?// It begins with an orientation which introduces the character's & settings, folled by a complication which impacts on the lead character of the text. Then follows a series of events which make up the story and inturn aim to seek a resolution which is the final step of the narrative framework

//What are the language Features?// The language of narrative is quite descriptive using a great deal of dialogue mainly coming from the lead character in the text. There is a sense of chronological order ie. this happened, and then this followed by and finally... and the story is usually past tense.

//What are some examples or narratives?// General story books and fairytale's which always include a sequence of a chronological events in the past, present and the future. Or as children refer to as having a beginning, a middle and an end.

//How can i implement narrative into my classroom?// All aspects of the reading and writing components can be introduces such as modeled shared and guided reading, as well as modeled shared, interactive and guided writing. One way this could be explored further done is to have a modeled reading session first and introduce the text, then after working through all stages of reading ask the student to go away and look at doing some independent writing of their own such as changing the story in a few ways. This has been demonstrated in the writing page of this wiki.

As this was the topic for our lesson i have included a few images of that class where we demonstrated the ways that different text types can be used in many ways. the 1st image is of my group producing a creative natrrative about monkeys. The next image is of our reflection keyrings asking promting questions and answering with the reflective statements. The 3rd Photo is of our lovely board, explaing more about the many different text types. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">
