EDU30004 LITERACY 3 WEEK UNIT OF WORK: FINAL SUMBISSION Kisane Irwin 22428273
GROUP READING:
WHEN AND HOW LONG FOR: 30 minutes every Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
Group readings have been allocated to the morning because students have travelled a long distance to get to the school and this activity has been previously successful in
settling them down to commence the learning day. Additionally, it establishes a meaningful working environment and enables students to make social interactions that they
may not have yet experienced, as many of the students will not have had conversations with anyone prior to coming to school (maybe as a result of parents being at work).
Additionally, this decision also considers that students are often late to school and this activity will enable these individuals to be filled by their peers and then transition into
the activity (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).

The children have been allocated into one of five small groups, based on their current reading abilities (Note that these groups are not numbered they are identified by
Indigenous names of animals such as Akama (whale) (See Appendix D). Students know that they are to take turns reading one page allowed, whilst they can help their peers if
they seem to be struggling to pronounce a word, they are not to interrupt or make hurtful comments to their peers. It is crucial that students are reminded to wait until their peer
asks for help before providing assistance (Bremner, S & Primary English Teaching Association (PETA), 2004). Each group has enough time to read a chapter and upon
completion, children return to their desks and answer the question sheets that I have created for them. Students are encouraged to skim read the chapter they have just read
when answering the questions (Winch, et al., 2014). This task has been allocated to the morning because many of the students will not have engaged in meaningful literacy
experiences prior to coming to school in the morning. Additionally, I have also noted the students desire to participate in group learning activities.
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
Flexible and moderated reading groups: Students with lower reading abilities will be allocated simpler texts and work their way towards reading more complex texts.
(See Appendix D). (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).
Will listen to an audio tape of the book and follow along with the text presented in front of them. They will then use oral communication to discuss the text (Wild,
2009).
MODELLED READING:
WHEN AND HOW LONG FOR: Monday and Wednesday afternoon and Friday mornings before lunch.
During this unit the children are engaging with a variety of texts to strengthen their reading skills, knowledge and strategies. I have chosen “The Rabbits” by John Marsden
(See Appendix E) for the class reading, in which I will personally be reading and modelling reading to the class. I chose this novel to develop the students’ understanding and
knowledgeability because it draws connections to Indigenous Australians, of which there are many that identify as indigenous within my class and the wider community.
Because the students are having limited reading experiences at home I am ensuring that I model reading to them as much as possible. Using the class projector, I will take time
to analyse areas of the novel that I feel are important for class discussion. During this time, the class will gain meaning from texts and become text analysts as they apply
critical literacy skills to understand what the purpose of the text is. In doing so, I will model how effective readers read, show how and why writers construct stories and
provide basis for discussions (Killen, 2013). In doing so, I am scaffolding the learning to meet the needs of the students and promoting the pleasure of reading.
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
The nominated novel uses visual imagery (pictures) as well as text. For children with lower reading skills their understanding can be increased through their
interpretation and analysis of the pictures which will catalytically increase their ability to interpret the written text of the book (Fellowes, 2017).
Each page only has a few lines of text. Therefore, the text will be displayed on a projector and the class will practice saying the words out-loud and discuss them to
reinforce their pronunciation/ meaning to students that have not heard or seen them before (New South Wales Department of Education, 2017).

DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
Spelling lists are determined on prior assessment of which students are placed into one of four flexible spelling groups (Note these are identified by the names for
colours in Wiradjuri) (See Appendix H). Students with lower achievement will receive fewer words that they will be assessed on their ability to spell, but they can
choose to learn the additional words if they desire (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017). A “Look, say, cover, write check” book marker and organiser is provided to each
student to assist them (See Appendix I).
Words will be read to the students orally and deconstructed/analysed prior to them working independently. (i.e. why is the I before the e?). They will also be given
examples of the words in a sentence (both orally and written) (AITSL, 2017).
Use alternative methods (not just pen and paper) to practice their spelling: Write words using sand/paint/plasticine.
Students have the option to work with a partner: Sitting back to back, one verbally explains how to spell the word and the other writes the word on their sheet of paper.
Then they self-assess using the accurate spelling indicated on their spelling list (Winch, et al., 2014).
In addition to learning the spelling of English words, Indigenous Teacher’s Assistant to explicitly teach word study of Aboriginal English (Usually takes these students
out of the classroom and into the playground to do so) (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).

Students will be learning how to make coherent texts. The focus will be on creating formal reports that utilise topic sentences to demonstrate a point of view and introduce the
purpose of the paragraph. To achieve this the students will participate lessons where the teacher models this structure and in group and individual activities in which the
students deconstruct examples of paragraphs to develop their own understanding (Winch, et al., 2014).
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
Conferencing: Teacher to individually conference with students to ensure they understand the concept (Winch, et al., 2014).
Allocated more time to complete the activity and/or have the size and/or complexity of the task reduced (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).
Have visual aids and graphic organisers to assist their completion of the task and help their understanding (See Appendix E) (AITSL, 2017).
As mentioned above students will learn Aboriginal English with the Indigenous Teacher’s Assistant and therefore, grammar lessons will also be aided and
implemented to these students by the teacher’s assistant and then students will return to the class half-way through the Grammar, punctuation and vocabulary lessons
of which these students will receive explicit teaching and instruction of knowledge and skills (these will be less complex due to time constraints).
Speaking and Listening activities are imbedded and will be continually evident within the daily routine and all aspects of the curriculum. The following are
specific learning tasks and routines for the nominated 3 weeks:
SPEAKING
WHEN AND HOW LONG FOR: Every day during individual, group and whole-class learning activities.
Specific speaking lessons in which the students have an opportunity to publicly present their artefacts (that they wrote about on Monday morning) to the class are after lunch
every day.
Speaking is embedded throughout the classroom environment.
Children currently have limited confidence in their speaking ability. Therefore, teacher models and reinforces correct public speaking skills (Standing/ siting straight,
facing the audience, loud and clear voice, remaining on topic).
Teacher asks open-ended questions to encourage students to produce more evaluated answers rather than one worded response (Hall, Cook & Carter, 2018).
Before students come to the front of the class to speak, teacher will remind/ask the students to re-call how to best present themselves when they are speaking.
Students compose their own descriptions of literature artefacts and then use these responses during their speech time. They are not to read word for word off the paper
rather they are to recall the information and speak from memory. Students are given 2 minutes to talk about their artefact (This will assist them in synthesising their
ideas and only recalling the most useful information) (Winch, et al., 2014).
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES:
Require modelling and explicit teaching (Killen, 2013).
Option of sharing their “news” to the class in a circle or by standing in front of the class (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).
Not being analysed on their ability to look at the audience – main focus is voice progression (AITSL, 2017).
Can present a slam-poem or rap instead of a traditional speech (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).
Can use both Australian and/or Aboriginal English (or their first language) during their presentation (but if they do they need to provide the opportunity to explain
what they said after) (Groome, 1995).
6
EDU30004 LITERACY 3 WEEK UNIT OF WORK: FINAL SUMBISSION Kisane Irwin 22428273
Can choose to share their news with a partner and then have that peer tell the teacher what the student said. A peer assessment (“Two stars and one wish”) will also be
required if they choose this option (See Appendix K). (New South Wales Department of Education, 2017).
LISTENING
WHEN AND HOW LONG FOR: Every day during individual, group and whole-class learning activities.
Teacher models and reinforces why it is important to listen and to use body language that promotes you’re listening (Eyes on the person, sitting up-right, mouth closed)
(Goulden, 1999).
Class also discusses how to provide effective feedback that demonstrates you have listened to the speaker in the form of evaluative and clarification questions such as: “I like
how you talked about...”, “What did you mean when you said...?” (Winch, et al., 2014).
Students demonstrate their ability to apply listening skills when the teacher is addressing them or the class and when their peers are talking. In particular 2 students will be
asked to provide feedback to their peers during the speech using the “two Starts and a Wish strategy” (Verbally state 2 things they did well and one thing you wish they
included/did).
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
Turn off fans during public speaking and when teacher is giving verbal instructions (to assist students in hearing).
Students/teacher to wear a microphone while presenting (Particularly if there is a lot of noise outside) (New South Wales Department of Education, 2017).
RESPONDING
WHEN AND HOW LONG FOR:
Complete comprehension questions after each period of group reading.
Participate in whole-class discussions after and during class reading.
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
Allow longer time for nominated students to think and respond to questions/tasks (AITSL, 2017).
Can choose to respond through audio taping or written responses. If they use audio tapes they must provide at least 2 written sentences as well (New South
Wales Department of Education, 2017).
COMPOSING
WHEN AND HOW LONG FOR:
Students compose a handwritten description of a literacy artefact (Any written material they bring from their community such as a bus ticket, a programme for a
football game or a menu) and then use these responses during their speech time.
Create an Information report based on a topic of their choosing and include a bibliography (2x A4 with at least 3 references).
DIFFERENTIATED ROUTINES/STRATERGIES: Students that have lower English Language and Literacy skills and/or are Indigenous or ESL/ESD:
Allow longer time for nominated students (AITSL, 2017).
Have visual aids and graphic organisers to assist their completion of Information Report task(See Appendix F). (Arthur-Kelly & Neilands, 2017).
Can choose to compose using audio taping, written, visual (artworks) or digital responses. If they choose a differentiated way to compose they must still
provide at least 2 written sentences as well (AITSL, 2017).

Assessment (summary):
The nominated assessment procedures have been created in relation to the knowledge and skills that are taught within the unit program and the
nominated syllabus outcomes. Prior to the commencement of this unit, I implemented assessment FOR learning to determine what the children’s
current language and literacy levels are. However, throughout the three weeks of this program students will participate in assessment tasks that
are based on assessing OF and AS learning.
Technological developments within society have catalytically resulted in the inclusion of assessment tasks that capitalise on teaching the
students necessary technological skills that they can implement in the outside world. Although, the school has limited resources and the students
are from low socio-economic backgrounds it is my desire to still ensure that they are equipped with basic computer skills a like any other
individual. Therefore, I have developed the units’ main assessment task to coincide with the students’ literacy development and to demonstrate
the ways in which they can utilise technology to perform written tasks and to solve their own queries by allowing them to research a topic of
their choosing (Johnston, 2013). In doing so, I am providing an authentic assessment that is engaging to the students and will allow me to assess
their writing abilities and understanding and application of the key concepts such as, topical sentences. Subsequently, this summative assessment
will occur at the end of the unit and will allow me to formally assess each individual student’s writing ability as well as their grammar,
punctuation, vocabulary and word development. Additionally, I will also be implementing a self-assessment task, in which the students utilised
the nominated criteria and their final works to argue why they believe they achieved a certain level. The purpose of doing this is to allow the
students to understand the grading process and to develop their understanding of persuasive writing (Ronan, 2015). Subsequently, this
establishes a rich task because although students adhere to the nominated criteria, they have the opportunity to choose their own topic to research
and discover which catalytically increases their desire to learn and it offers authentic and real-life contexts for learning that enable students to
make connections to the outside world within their learning (Winch, et al., 2014). In doing so, this fosters creativity and caters for differentiated
learning styles to which, scaffolding, graphic organisers and proformas have been included to assist all learners in drafting and formulating their
ideas before generating their final work (Ansell, 2012). Additionally, the inclusion of both teacher and self-assessment strategies provides an
25
EDU30004 LITERACY 3 WEEK UNIT OF WORK: FINAL SUMBISSION Kisane Irwin 22428273
opportunity for students to utilises new skills and knowledge and to increase their understanding not only of the assessment process but of where
their strengths and areas that need improving lie within their English learning (Learning Curve Education, 2009).
Continually, because the program is only set for three weeks I have chosen to only include one main assessment task and have several on-going
forms of assessment that I will be able to monitor throughout the semester and the year. These tasks will focus on the students’ reading skills as
well as their speaking and listening skills and will consist of me creating ongoing anecdotal notes of the students’ progression and area that need
to improve to ensure that I provide them with developmental lessons that are specific to their needs (Winch, et al., 2014). These forms of
assessment will be scheduled alongside regular lessons to reduce the children’s’ anxiety and competitiveness when participating in the tasks. For
example, during speaking and listening activities and children will regularly have the chance to speak in front of their peers during their
allocated speech time. The purpose of doing this is to allow the students to implement the speaking and listening skills discussed throughout the
week in a natural and supportive environment (Ronan, 2015). Similarly, reading assessment will take place during nominated individual reading
times, in which the students will participate in a reading conference with me so that I can monitor the areas in which their reading has progressed
and where and how it can be improved. In doing so, I am ensuring that all students are developing their reading skills, that I am demonstrating
my interest in each learner and I will be evoking effective time management skills (Flint, et al., 2017).
5. The differentiation of teaching information which should be matched to the differentiation of assessment of learning.
As noted above, there is a large number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in this context, most of whom speak Aboriginal English, a dialect of
English, in their home environment (Board of Studies New South Wales, 1999). Therefore, throughout all lessons and appreciation of Aboriginal English is
imbedded as it is fundamental in both generating understanding of cultural differences and enhancing connections and providing relevance to these students’
education (Groome, 1995). More specifically, when establishing learning and assessment strategies I worked with my Indigenous Teachers Assistance to
provide areas for differentiating learning and assessment that would suit the needs and learning styles my students and to ensure that all tasks are authentic,
productive and appropriate. Consequently, in order to effectively implement this English program to suit the needs of all my students and to encourage the
26
EDU30004 LITERACY 3 WEEK UNIT OF WORK: FINAL SUMBISSION Kisane Irwin 22428273
same high achievement standards, I have applied and used the “8 Ways of Learning” pedagogical framework throughout to accommodate to the diverse needs
of my students by creating differentiated learning and assessments that still encourage the same high expectations for learning (Yunkaporta & Kirby,
2011).
This will be achieved by:
READING AND VIEWING ACTIVITIES:
LESSONS: The goal for all students is to develop reading comprehension so that they can transition from ‘learning to read’ to ‘reading to learn’
and further increase their language development (Churchill, et al., 2016). They will participate in individual reading, modified and flexible group
readings and whole-class modelled reading.
ASSESSMENT: Running records (For students with lower reading abilities), conferencing and self-assessment (See Above for detailed
explanation).
DIFFERENTIATION:
Community and Land Links: During modelled reading the class is reading a novel (See Appendix E) that alludes to the arrival of Europeans in
Australia and the widespread environmental destruction caused by man throughout the continent. The text will be used to start discussions that will
connecting local values, needs and knowledge in relation to what this symbolisation means to students (Christie, 1982). This is important because
many Aboriginal students grow up learning at home to emphasize cooperative participation (Yunkaporta & Kirby, 2011).
Symbols and Images: Class novel utilises images which will assist in discussing the text and aid students with limited reading abilities to decipher the
text.
WRITING AND REPRESENTING ACTIVITES
LESSONS: The purpose for the nominate writing and representing activities is to develop the students joy for writing within their daily routine.
Therefore, tasks are targeted to suit student’s interests and daily lives.
ASSESSMENT: RUBRIC and self-assessment (in response to Information report) (See Above for detailed explanation)
DIFFERENTIATION:
Learning Maps: Explicitly planning and visualising processes
27
EDU30004 LITERACY 3 WEEK UNIT OF WORK: FINAL SUMBISSION Kisane Irwin 22428273
Symbols and Images: Using images to understand content. Learning through observation and imitation rather than verbal instruction One of the
consistent findings is that much Aboriginal learning is by observation and imitation, rather than through verbal instruction (Aboriginal Education
Unit, 1993).
Non-Linear: Producing innovations and understanding by thinking laterally (putting different ideas together to create new knowledge).
Deconstruct/Reconstruct: Modelling and scaffolding, working from wholes to parts because typical Aboriginal learning methods are often holistic, that is,
the learner concentrates on understanding the overall concept or task before getting down to the details. Notably, research has found that urban
Aboriginal students need more discussion, talking and modelling at the beginning of the lesson (Yunkaporta & Kirby, 2011).
28
EDU30004 LITERACY 3 WEEK UNIT OF WORK: FINAL SUMBISSION Kisane Irwin 22428273
with another student and discuss what they have written about it. There peer will then listen quietly and provided them with a Peer
Assessment in the form of “Two Stars and One Wish”. This will promotion reflection this inclusion is consistent with teacher reports that
Aboriginal students tend towards a reflective learning style (Yunkaporta & Kirby, 2011).
Additionally, to ensure cultural authenticity, the Indigenous students participate in ‘work-shops’ with the Indigenous Teachers Assistant, who will
model and scaffold learning of verbal and Non-verbal communication through the inclusion of yarning circles and communicating through narrative
and songs (Aboriginal Education Unit, 1993).

9.30 Students have been allocated reading groups according to their
reading ability. Each group has an allocated reading box in which
the book that I expect them to finish by the end of the three weeks
is located. Students are aware that they take turns to read aloud
each page and are expected to follow along with the story to
ensure that they are prepared to read. At the end of this unit I will
reassess students reading abilities and determine whether some
students need to change groups.
When finished reading. Students return to their desks and
complete the allocated questions individually.
