Task 3 - for both texts

For both articles - The disappearance of campgrounds and Orcas in NZ you must complete the following task either on computer or refill, and submit to your teacher:


1. Identify 3 examples of language features using appropriate terminology and describe each example in terms of its effect.
Tip: Use the Study It website and exemplar answers provided to assist you
Example:

Term:


Effect:


Exemplar (refers to a different article):
Example: "the drivers are creating mayhem"
Term: Emotive language
Effect: the emotive language used in the text conveys the impression that the boy racers are all bad and that all their cars are out to kill them. By using this type of language, the writer establishes a tone of 'us' and 'them' - saying that the boy racers are the 'baddies' and that everyone else is 'good.'
