Indicative Content and Learning Activities

Ábhar táscach
Déanfar grinnstaidéar ar théacsanna nua-aimseartha atá dírithe ar dhéagóirí: déanfar iniúchadh ar mhodhanna inste, ar charachtracht, ar an dialóg, ar shuímh na scéalta agus ar fhorbairt na bplotaí. Déanfar éifeachtacht na saothar a mheas i gcomhthéacs na mionteanga agus i gcomhthéacs an tseomra ranga fosta. Bainfear úsáid as prós agus scéalta traidisúnta na Gaeilge mar ábhar spreagtha le téacsanna nua a chumadh. Beidh deis ag na mic léinn saothair chruthaitheacha a chumadh as an nua, nó bunaithe ar scéalta traidisiúnta, dírithe ar lucht óg léitheoireachta. Déanfar forbairt ar scileanna scríbhneoireachta na mac léinn trí cheardlanna scríbhneoireachta, agus beidh béim ar an phleanáil agus ar an athscríobh. Cuirfear béim ar an chruthaitheacht agus na mic léinn ag cruthú suíomh idirlín mar chuid den mheasúnú leanúnach.
