AusVELS STATEMENTS:

As students work towards the achievement of standards in Languages at

Pathway 1 Level 8, they investigate the important elements that make up
a language system and the particular functions of grammatical concepts,
and learn that words may not have a direct equivalent in another
language... They begin to understand and use the language other than
English within the world of teenage experience, on topics related to
general interest, topics drawn from other domains and the world of
learning. They start to exchange personal information, opinions, ideas,
feelings and plans orally and through correspondence. They continue to
adapt the language they use to suit the communication context, and
practise managing shifts of topic and speaker.
(2013)
LEARNING INTENTIONS & INDICATORS OF LEARNING:
The students will be able to:

Understand and use the language within the world of teenage

experience, on topics related to general interest and the world of
learning
Exchange and express their opinions, feelings/or views both orally
and in written form in the target language
Adapt the language they use to suit the communication context, and
practise managing shifts of topic and speaker
Communicate by referring to models and responding to prompting

The students will achieve this by:

-

Reviewing through collaborative recitation, the previously learned verbs

Essere (to be) and Avere (to have).
Learning how to use the verb Essere in the meaningful context of everyday
spoken Italian by constructing basic sentences describing birthplaces.
Applying this knowledge through the completion of a written activity and
then critically reviewing their own writing.
