## 1. Seventh Grade · Integrate information from sources using a standardized format.

- [Research & Source Evaluation](https://ai.page/c/research-and-source-evaluation/index.md): Summarise and organise material from reading and research — gathering relevant information from multiple sources, assessing credibility, integrating evidence without plagiarising, and supporting ideas with factual detail

## 2. Seventh Grade

- [Purpose, audience, and context](https://ai.page/c/purpose-audience-and-context/index.md): Identify the purpose, audience, and context of a text and use this knowledge to support comprehension — recognising how writing aimed at different audiences (academic, popular, persuasive) uses different conventions, register, and tone
- [Planning, Revising and Editing Writing](https://ai.page/c/planning-revising-and-editing-writing/index.md): Plan, revise, and edit writing to improve coherence and effectiveness — considering how the writing reflects its intended audience and purpose, amending vocabulary, grammar, and structure, and proofreading for accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar
- [Narrative Writing](https://ai.page/c/narrative-writing/index.md): Write narratives with developed settings, characters and plot, using dialogue and description to develop experiences and show character responses to situations
- [Writing Character & Dialogue](https://ai.page/c/writing-character-and-dialogue/index.md): Write narratives that develop real or imagined experiences using effective technique — including establishing context and point of view, developing characters through dialogue, pacing, and description, using varied transitions, and providing a reflective conclusion
- [Writing for an audience](https://ai.page/c/writing-for-an-audience/index.md): Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organisation are appropriate to the task, purpose, and audience, maintaining a consistent style and structure throughout
- [Persuasive Writing](https://ai.page/c/persuasive-writing/index.md): Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence — including introducing claims, acknowledging counterclaims, organising reasons logically, maintaining a formal style, and providing a concluding statement
- [Developed Informational and Explanatory Writing](https://ai.page/c/developed-informational-and-explanatory-writing/index.md): Write informative and explanatory texts that examine a topic and convey ideas clearly — organising information logically with headings and formatting, developing the topic with relevant facts, definitions, details, and quotations, and using precise vocabulary
- [Using and Evaluating Textual Evidence](https://ai.page/c/using-and-evaluating-textual-evidence/index.md): Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of what a text says explicitly and what can be inferred, distinguishing between strong and weak evidence and explaining how the evidence supports a point
- [How Language Choices Affect the Reader](https://ai.page/c/how-language-choices-affect-the-reader/index.md): Evaluate how authors use language including figurative language, considering the impact of word choices, imagery, and literary devices on the reader
- [Analysing Text Structure](https://ai.page/c/analysing-text-structure/index.md): Analyse how a text's structure — including its overall organisation, use of chapters, stanzas, scenes, paragraphs, or sections — contributes to its meaning, style, and development of ideas
- [Figurative Language and Literary Devices](https://ai.page/c/figurative-language-and-literary-devices/index.md): Determine the meaning of figurative and connotative language in context, analyse the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, and identify literary devices such as metaphor, simile, personification, allusion, and irony
- [Speaking Formally and Giving Presentations](https://ai.page/c/speaking-formally-and-giving-presentations/index.md): Use Standard English confidently in formal and informal spoken contexts — give short speeches and presentations expressing own ideas clearly, keeping to the point, and adapting register and vocabulary to the audience
- [Formal Debates](https://ai.page/c/formal-debates/index.md): Participate in formal debates and structured discussions — presenting a position with supporting evidence, responding to others’ points, summarising and building on what has been said, and following rules of discussion
