Following the Gradual Release of Responsibility model, students move from teacher-led modelling to guided practice and independent application — building confidence in identifying and crafting statements that position readers in specific ways.

Through explicit teaching, choral reading, worked examples and scaffolded tasks, students explore how authors use objective, subjective and biased language to inform, persuade or influence audiences. Regular check-ins for learning allow teachers to monitor understanding in real time, while the reflection-style exit ticket provides clear insight into who is ready for extension and who may need further support.
