Due to the English curriculum document for 2026 currently being in draft form only, courses are subject to change. The demands of the draft curriculum will be such that all students will be expected to read an increased number of texts at every year level to meet requirements. Students are to expect to be doing reading every night for at least 30 minutes and will be expected to meet the demands of the curriculum document.
This course is aimed at the majority of students and is designed to prepare them for Level 2 NCEA.
Students cover a range of thematic units, which include: the Language of Protest, Crime and Punishment and Pick 'n' Mix. Within these units, students will learn about how language can be used to empower us, how a variety of texts can convey similar messages, how audiences can be positioned by writers and how to identify the purpose of texts. Students will take part in reading, writing and speaking assessments, some of which will be for credits.
Students in this course will be given the opportunity to complete both internal and external assessment.
