Subject Description
Students explore how the purpose of a text is achieved through the application of text conventions and stylistic features, positioning the audience to respond to ideas and perspectives.
An understanding of purpose, context, and audience is applied in students’ own creation of imaginative, interpretive, analytical, and persuasive texts that may be in written, oral, and/or multi-modal form.
