recognise language used to evaluate texts including visual and multimodal texts, and how evaluations of a text can be substantiated by reference to the text and other sources

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• building knowledge about words of evaluation, including words to express emotional responses to texts, judgement of characters and their actions, and appreciation of the aesthetic qualities of text
• analysing how evaluative language can be used to assess the qualities of a narrative or persuasive text; for example, its impact on the reader or the author’s skill in the use of language
• recognising how evaluative language is used to critically assess the validity of evidence and the reliability of sources
