Elaborations

• developing narratives based on information identified from a range of sources (using some of the language devices of narratives, evocative vocabulary, and literary sentence structures but using real characters and events to tell their story)
• combining literary and informational language (for example ‘Standing on a cold windy pier in Kythera, Dimitri waved goodbye to his crying mother.’); evocative language and complex narrative structures and factual vocabulary and simple and compound sentence structures (for example ‘It was 1956 and Greece was recovering from a long civil war.’)
• composing historical texts (for example information reports, expository texts, persuasive texts, recounts, biographies)
