OBJECTIVES/COURSE CONTENT:
On completing this course students should be able to:
• Write clearly, correctly and interestingly in a variety of genres;
• Speak and listen effectively and appropriately;
• Read and analyse a range of texts, both written and visual;
• Carry out research.
These objectives cover the range of objectives of English in the New Zealand Curriculum.
COURSE CONTENT:
Students will read and study a range of different texts (e.g. fiction, poetry, short stories, and film) and will explore the ideas in these in a wide variety of ways (written, visual, oral). They will develop inquiry learning skills, writing skills (drafting, revising, editing and proofreading), speaking skills (both formal and informal), engaging with, using and enjoying English and building literacy skills.
Most internally assessed work is carried out throughout the year as portfolio collections of writing, with final assessments in Term Three. The work for AS1.10 (Form personal responses to independently read texts, supported by evidence) requires a total of SIX reading responses, with two due each at the end of each term and the final assessment completed by the end of Term Three.
Marks for A.S.1.6 (Construct and deliver an oral text) will be carried over from Year 10 English, or may be reassessed if required.
