Elaborations

  • • using a set of modelled sentences, such as 我的狗叫..., 它三岁了, 它喜欢..., 它的毛是黑色的, creating imaginary animals, pets or characters, and presenting them through performance (a puppet show, etc.) or using digital tools to digitally display a cartoon, for example, 这是龙, 他叫长龙, 他五岁了, 他喜欢饺子, 他很大
  • • creating alternative versions of stories or action songs (nursery rhymes, etc.) using voice, rhythm, and gestures to animate characters, or using support materials (drawings, story maps, etc.) to create visual contexts, for example, changing the animals in 两只老虎 to 三只老鼠
  • • designing a poster, PowerPoint, invitation, card for a specific event, a menu or creating a picture book or word wall, for example, producing a poster to represent the Chinese zodiac, displaying characters and/or Pinyin such as 中秋节, 动物
  • • creating simple descriptions in Chinese and matching them to appropriate First Nations Country/Place locations in their local area or elsewhere in Australia
  • •

    adapting familiar story books such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Where Is the Green Sheep? and Brown Bear, and changing some of the vocabulary, "What would the caterpillar eat in Mainland China/Taiwan/Hong Kong?", or changing the food, colours, animals in the book(s) using a set list of words

  • • drawing a picture of a nature scene or an imaginary monster/animal and labelling it in characters and Pinyin

Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 4, students use Chinese language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal world. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax to create texts. They use familiar characters appropriate to context and make connections with the spelling and tone marks of Pinyin.Students imitate sounds, tones, pronunciation, and intonation patterns of Chinese language. They demonstrate understanding that Chinese has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Chinese and make comparisons between Chinese and English. They understand that the Chinese language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
