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.

• comparing and analysing the structure of media texts such as digital news sites or print media, identifying strategies used to create cohesion
• identifying how authors foreshadow how a text will unfold; for example, identifying the topic sentence, sentence openers and text connectives
