Grammar and meaning / Sally Humphrey, Louise Droga, Susan Feez.
"The book supports the 'Australian Curriculum: English' as well as existing state-based syllabus documents and provides a language for talking about meanings in both verbal text and visual images. This book is designed to complement Beverly Derewianka's 'A new grammar companion for teachers' (2011). Each chapter assists teachers to engage actively with the material covered in the Derewianka text, and to apply their developing knowledge and skill to their teaching practice. The book is organised into chapters which explore the way language is used to: express ideas; connect ideas; interact with others; create cohesive texts. The book includes activities, ideas and models that demonstrate how teaching about grammar and meaning can contribute to weaving together of the three strands of the 'Australian Curriculum: English' (language, literature and literacy) and enhance student learning across all areas of the curriculum." - Back cover.
