Analysis Of A Procedural Text: Year 2 Student Beth

628 Words3 Pages

In terms of the purpose of the text, Year 2 student Beth has written a procedural text on how to build an igloo. Firstly, she has clearly demonstrated that the text she’s delivered is to instruct the readers on how to make something. Moreover, Beth takes on an authoritative role, hence explaining why sentences are in forms of commands, which is commonly found in procedural text (Humphrey & Vale, 2020). For instance, Beth uses simple verb choices such as place, make, and carry at the start of each step, emphasising the action that the audience has to take. All in all, she has shown CrT7 of the National Literacy Learning Progression (NLLP), where she has written an informative text appropriate to the audience and purpose (Australian Curriculum, …show more content…

She uses numbers to show what the audience must do first before proceeding to the next stop. According to Humphrey and Vale (2020), a procedure includes an opening statement about the goal of the activity as well as materials needed to make the item. Although Beth did not indicate those, she has included a title ‘Building an Igloo’, which could possibly give readers an idea of what to expect from her text. Furthermore, Beth has also drawn an image of an igloo at the end of the text. This corresponds to the Victorian Curriculum, where it states that F-Level 2 students might use images to depict the final product (Department of Education and Training Victoria, …show more content…

For example, in the sentence ‘Place the block onto a sled and carry them to site where you want to build an igloo’, Beth uses the conjunction ‘and’ to link two clauses together. From here, we can identify that she effectively displays ACELA1467 of the Australian Curriculum, which discusses about students equipping conjunctions to form compound sentences (ACARA, n.d.). Next, Beth uses many adverbial phrases of location and reason to provide further information about her idea. For instance, the sentence ‘.... carry them to the site where you want to build the igloo’ informs readers of where the blocks should be transported to. All in all, Beth demonstrates GrA5 of the NLLP and F-Level 2 of the Victorian Curriculum, where it states the well-usage of simple and compound sentences as well as adverbial

In her text, “Cognition, Convention and Certainty,” Patricia Bizzell describes the writing process through both inner-directed and outer-directed theories in order to illustrate that the writing process is infirmed by both student’s natural thought processes and their discourse community She uses her text to explain both theories, and to argue for the implementation of a new pedagogy focused on discourse analysis. First, Bizzell introduces the inner –directed theory, which seeks to discover the writing processes through the universal and fundamental structure of language. Conversely, she explains that the outer-directed theory instead argues that the individual’s discourse community does not teach a generalized form of language but rather the

The Synopsis that I gathered from Haas and Flowers’ “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” was none the less another interesting read. Experienced readers might come to understand that both reading and writing can be “context-rich, situational, and have constructive acts”. Though a large number of students may find reading and writing more or less to be an exchange of valued or non-valued information. Continuing on, multiple studies that have been conducted have also found that on average 77 percent of experienced readers tend to use content strategies to expand their knowledge of the reading. These strategies usually include vigorous annotations of the reading/writing that have been shown to improve the readers/writers’ comprehension of the material.

Erica Sotello Paragraph writing assignment 2 Being a military brat, I 've traveled to many places; so choosing either the country or big city is pretty hard to choose from. I grew up and would love to live in San Antonio, Texas; which is a big city. My entire family lives there and a part of me wouldn 't want to live anywhere else so I could be as close as possible to them. At the age of 12 my family and I moved to Illesheim, Germany; which is in the middle of no where just like the country and there is nothing, but open fields. The thing I loved most about living in Germany was how quiet everything was, there was no loud traffic where we lived, the town and military base was so small that everyone knew everyone and we were all one big

Text one is an emotional extract from a personal essay. Written in 2016, Jackie French uses written language features such as repetition and descriptive language to construct her argument about how writing books for children can help shape them into ambiguous learners and help them find the question ‘how do i want to live’, she believes that by introducing kids to authentic Australian books these children can become more aware about current issues in society. Using repetition throughout the extract, her argument about the importance of children's book writing is heavily influenced.

This grants more creative freedom for the writer, while also instilling the different template methods through practice. In spite of the logical advantages that the templates give the writer, some people are still skeptical of this type of method. Many believe that these templates are a juvenile form that inhabits creativity. One student even proclaims, “I’m in college now, this is third-grade-level stuff.” (10) Regardless of these students claims that templates are too simplistic and less imaginative, Graff and Birkensteins’ idea that one must learn through template forms in order to enhance their skills in the future should be endorsed.

In the written paragraphs lie a strange pattern of using vague examples followed by a depressing and vague explanation of worthlessness and despair. In the non-paragraph sections of the essay lies either images of text, a list of deceased or missing people, some short phrases further separated by an asterisk and other styles.
