Source document note

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

• sub strand name - p.215: the three genres are listed in a different order each year - "NARRATIVE, DRAMA, POETRY" on printed p.87, "POETRY, NARRATIVE AND DRAMA" on printed p.156 and "NARRATIVE, POETRY AND DRAMA" on printed p.213 - against "Narrative, Drama, Poetry" in the scope-and-sequence. Transcribed as each page prints it
• exemplars - p.215: this assessment cell prints "Level 1Recall" with no space, confirmed at 900 dpi, and ends "Level 4 Extended reasoning" where every other cell in the document reads "Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning". Both transcribed as printed
