Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Guide learners with a model to talk about themselves. This is a whole class discussion with individual learners saying things about themselves.
- Let learners write about themselves. In pairs learners edit each other's work and identify words and sentences that give information about the partner which they did not know previously.
- In groups learners research about their school and write a short history about it.
