Year 10 English
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms C. Gilbert.
In Year 10 English, students cover a range of thematic units, which include: the study of novels, drama, short stories, poetry, Shakespeare, media, film, visual and oral language.
Students will be provided with the opportunity to complete their NCEA Literacy co-requisite qualification. This consists of two standards- one accesses writing and the other reading. These standards are an essential component of the revised NCEA qualification. In 2024 students will also be able to gain their Literacy credits through tagged achievement standards. Standards that contribute towards a student's literacy cannot be used to accumulate level credits.
To prepare students for the literacy co-requisite qualification and prepare them for NCEA students will continue to build on their portfolio writing, language blocks, and reading challenges started in Year 9. Students are taken to the Library once every three weeks for a reading period to further embed good reading practice. If you would like a reading recommendation list then please contact your student's English teacher.
