Elaborations
- analysing a videoed class debate to see how language is used to justify opinions and to persuade others
- conducting an in-depth analysis of a selected sign text, taking into account audience, purpose and topic to explain language choices made by the signer
- expanding understanding of textual conventions, for example by explaining why signers choose alternatives to actor-verb-undergoer in a real text to topicalise the important point
- noticing how signers can compare or contrast ideas by locating things in the same or opposing sides of signing space
- noticing how signers construct cohesive and coherent texts through the use of text connectives such as lexical signs THEN or G:WELL or NMFs and pausing
- identifying all the ways a signer refers to the same referent throughout a text to create cohesion
