I was originally confused about what the different text types where. I kept mixing them up with genre. However I found this website today which is very helpful as it defines each text type, the forms it comes in, the cultural purpose and linguistic structures and features. I wish that I had of found this website last year when I was required to do an assignment on the different text types; it would have made grasping the concept a lot easier.
This website is great, it features actors and actresses reading children's books.
I first saw it being used while volunteering in a school and the kids loved it. http://www.storylineonline.net/ Every now and again you find something amazing that just excites and inspires you, this is what happened for me with the Literacy Shed.
I came across the Literacy Shed on Twitter and followed the link. I cannot stop thinking about how amazing this site is even now all I can think about is the amazing lessons and units that I could plan using these, it makes me sad to still be a second year student and not have a class of my own. All of a sudden I am wishing that I am on placement so I could talk to my mentor teacher about trying to implement some of these. Go to the website. |
