German: F–10 Sequence / Foundation to Level 2 / Understanding / Systems of language
Content description
Understand that language is organised as ‘texts’, which take different forms and use different structures and features to achieve their purposes
Elaborations
understanding that texts can be spoken, written, digital, visual or multimodal, and that they can be very short (Stopp!, or a hand gesture to signal Komm her!) or much longer
recognising that different types of texts have different features, for example, rhythm and repetition in action songs and rhymes
comparing similar texts in German and English, such as counting games or simple maps, identifying elements in the German texts which look or sound different
identifying familiar text types such as songs, rhymes, picture books, games, family trees and tables, and naming key features, for example, Titel, Seite and Bild
