I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns


In this unit I have been learning about:
  • The parts of speech.
  • The types of nouns.
  • The types of sentences.


In this unit, I found the nouns activity challenging because there are a lot of different noun types.

Something new I learnt was that collective nouns are used to denote a group e.g. team, crew.

In reading we have been learning to make decisions about the usefulness of the text for the purpose, by using a variety of criteria to evaluate.

These were:
  • Readability
  • Accuracy
  • Relevance
  • Quality of information/ language.



Here is my evidence to show that I am able to demonstrate this reading skill.
