HUGE Supporting Slideshow - Stage 3 Unit 2 NESA Unit - Bright New World

*Please read the product listing below carefully so you are clear on the specifics of this product. It is a PDF, not a PowerPoint. It also doesn’t involve all the elements of Component A, but is based on the framework of Component B. Check out the preview for more detail :)

This is a HUGE, 250+ page supporting slideshow for the new NESA Stage Three English Unit (2) “Bright New World” which explicitly teaches the concepts of genre and hybrid texts using two mentor texts, “Bright New World” by Cindy Forde and “Dry to Dry: The Seasons of Kakadu” by Pamela Freeman.

This resource is a supporting slideshow which means it is linked to the Department of Education (NSW) unit of work which teaches Stage 3 students about genre and hybrid texts.

Slides are full-colour, engaging and fun, whilst also encapsulating all the key concepts of the unit, so you don’t need to cross-reference or produce these yourself. Slides are organised by week and presented in PDF format so that formatting is consistent.

This unit explores the concept of hybrid texts. There is also a strong theme of environmental perspectives and sustainability, so it is perfect for integration with Geography and Science content.

This unit of work focuses on informative, imaginative and persuasive texts, but also includes multiple mini-lessons which can be used across multiple types of text:

• genre

• author’s message

• vocabulary (this is focused on throughout the unit, specifically Tier 2 and Tier 3 words)

• hybrid texts

• appositives

• types of sentences - declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, imperative

• the writing process

• figurative language

• paragraphing

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages

• protocols for respecting Indigenous traditions

• author/illustrator studies

Assessment tasks are embedded throughout the unit, with assessment opportunities highlighted. The culmination of the unit is a formal writing task whereby students create a multimedia text which is then collated into a class book and shared with a broader community.

Check out my linked book unit (also available in my store), which includes comprehension booklets for shared and guided reading, as well as Literacy Circle task cards, printables and much more!

This is a huge unit. It will take up a significant amount of storage space, so I recommend storage on Google Drive or similar. Slideshows are presented in PDF format.

Corresponding page numbers to the syllabus document from the NSW Department of Education are given in a coloured star in the corner of each slide.

Please note: this slideshow focuses on the complete learning pathway of Component B, with Component A embedded throughout as “mini -lessons” or concepts. There is not a stand-alone slideshow for Component A.

I have lots of other Literacy resources in my store (based on Australian content) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
