Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• strand name - p.99: printed pp 99-100 carry no STRAND heading at all; the one in force is 'STRAND 4: WRITING' from printed p.98. 'LITERATURE' is this document's own heading for strand 5 in the other two grades, printed pp 35 and 67
• sub strand name - p.99: printed pp 99-100 carry no SUB-STRAND heading at all; the one in force is 'SUB-STRAND 3: BUILDING AND PRESENTING KNOWLEDGE' from printed p.98. This name is this document's own heading for sub-strand 5.1 in the other two grades, printed pp 35 and 67, over the identical content standard text
