Year 9 English

The Year 9 English course aims to cover and develop two interconnected strands - making meaning and creating meaning. Each strand encompasses oral, written and visual forms of the language. There is an emphasis on both the critical response to a wide range of literature and the creative aspects of story writing, producing visual texts, and presenting. This course encourages student’s enjoyment of texts, ranging from novels to films, while also developing the necessary skills in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and language techniques.
