Pearson English 3-6 gives each student every opportunity to learn. Pearson English 3-6 is an award-winning, flexible series of resources, designed to successfully support the Australian Curriculum: English within the context of topics from other curriculum areas. This is the student magazine for the Year 6 Health and Physical Education topic, Decisions. The student magazine sets the context of the topic with an engaging quote, introduction and full page stimulus photo. Four clearly structured text types are covered in this magazine from a comprehensive range of genres, including a relevant authentic text, such as an extract from a popular novel or news transcript, a poem, newspaper article, website, etc. This text has been broadly aligned to the year level goals on the Fountas & Pinnell Text Level Gradient. Let’s find out questions set the context of the topic and what will be explored, while Did you know? are fascinating facts to stimulate student interest. Breakaway tasks are provided for each text, based on Bloom's Revised Taxonomy, encouraging students to think creatively and critically, and promote higher order thinking. The magazine concludes with a Strands in action section with Core tasks and Extra tasks where students can apply their thinking to a variety of situations, taking concepts further in real life scenarios and creative situations.
