Description

In Year 10 English students are given the opportunity to build upon creating texts, interpreting, analysing and evaluating texts.

Students study and respond to a variety of texts such as:

• Creative Writing
• Novels
• Short Stories
• Poetry
• Bio/Autobiographical Writing
• Films
• Documentaries
• Persuasive writing

Students create a range of texts to articulate complex ideas, including narratives, procedures, reports and text analysis.

Students engage with a variety of text types, such as newspapers, films, novels, digital texts and poetry.

Students will interact with others, contribute actively to class and group discussions, build on others’ ideas, solve problems, justify opinions and develop and expand arguments.

The English Curriculum is built around the three strands of Language, Literature and Literacy. Together the strands focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating.
