Form
2.1 write for different purposes and audiences
using a variety of literary, informational, and
graphic forms (e.g., a parody of a soliloquy in a
play studied in class, for their peers; an essay
analysing the themes, image patterns, or narrative
techniques used in a literary work; a novel
study website on a novel of their choice for an
audience of teenagers; a feature article for a
community newspaper that describes a conflict
between people from different cultures in their
school or community and proposes a solution
to the conflict)
Teacher prompts: “What elements could you
add to your article to help make it compelling
for readers? Have you interviewed any of
the people involved in these conflicts, or any
of the authorities who could help resolve the
issue?” “How have you used graphic and
informational forms on your novel study
website? Why did you use them in these ways?”
Voice
2.2 establish a distinctive and original voice in
their writing, modifying language and tone
skilfully and effectively to suit the form,
audience, and purpose for writing (e.g., write
a soliloquy in the voice of the antagonist in a
play; use a warm, convivial tone in writing a
graduating-class report for the school yearbook
