expand vocabulary by exploring a range of synonyms and antonyms, and using words encountered in a range of sources

• building vocabulary from research about technical and learning area–specific topics, for example gravity and magnetic forces
• determining or clarifying the shades of meaning of synonyms and antonyms
• using words encountered in texts that are formed from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language, for example the Shire of Nillumbik, which draws its name from the Wurundjeri name for the region, meaning 'shallow earth'
