Elaborations

• examining different types of texts, such as signs, songs, captions, stories and dialogues, noticing that they can be short or long, spoken, written, digital, visual or multimodal
• sharing ideas about the purpose of different texts, such as a class timetable (to show the sequence of lessons) or a story (to describe past events)
• exploring similar text types in Vietnamese and English, for example, songs, street signs or labels on goods at a market, and noticing ways in which they are similar or different
• naming different types of familiar texts (story, poem, song) and discussing how they work, for example, using the story starter Ngày xưa, hồi đó, lâu lắm rồi; or rhyming or repeating words in songs, such as quác quác quác, quạc quạc quạc in the song ‘Một con vịt’
