Collection: English - Year 6

Year 6 English: A Year of Voices, Visions, Curation and Culture!

Embark on a full year of literacy mastery with our comprehensive Year 6 program. Meticulously designed to cover all key content descriptors from the Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0), this complete package includes:

• 4 engaging, term-long units
• Over 180 detailed, hands-on lessons

In Year 6, English consolidates students' critical literacy and prepares them for the rigour of High School. Our approach is designed to ignite critical thinking and creativity through a vibrant mix of explicit instruction, collaborative inquiry, and engaging, project-based learning.

We move beyond simple comprehension to help students evaluate, curate, perform and create sophisticated texts with a clear understanding of context and audience. This program transforms the classroom into a dynamic hub where students become:

• Insightful Literary Analysts & Storytellers, diving deep into literary worlds to deconstruct character arcs and themes, before crafting their own sophisticated short stories that experiment with plot and perspective.
• Savvy Media Critics & Campaign Managers, decoding the "spin" in advertising and news media, analysing bias and modality, and designing their own persuasive campaigns for real-world issues.
• Spoken Word Artists & Sound Engineers, mastering the art of imagery, rhythm, and the "5 P's" of performance (Pitch, Pace, Power, Pause, Posture) to write and deliver powerful original poetry in a class "Slam".
• Context Detectives & Digital Museum Curators, investigating the "deep culture" and history behind texts, researching diverse perspectives (including First Nations), and designing interactive, multimodal "Digital Museum Exhibits" to teach their peers.
