  • • Elaboration distinguishing the purpose and reason for a range of texts such as different types of archived language texts, for example, dictionaries with recordings of words, stories and their translations, grammar guides or children’s books
  • • Elaboration explaining their own or others' artwork or visual representations of stories, through labelling or describing metaphors or symbols
  • • Elaboration recognising language features typically associated with familiar texts, for example, the use of imperatives in games, instructions and procedures, and the use of past tense in traditional narratives and recounts
