PETAA: Exploring How Texts Work in Science

Presented by Bronwyn Custance and Tony Hole. What are the core text types reflected in the Australian Curriculum; Science, and how do we support our learners in reading and writing science texts to successfully construct and represent their learning?

This workshop explores core texts in Science: their specific structures and language features. It explores how teachers can use model texts within a teaching and learning cycle to build deep content knowledge and control of important language within texts.

This is a two-day workshop, with three weeks in between each session.

Who should participate?
• Teachers of students in years 5-8
