Year 7 English Course Details
English success is not simply about knowing the “right answer.” Rather it involves the ability to translate what you have learned in class and make meaningful connections to answer questions successfully.
This course will give students the ability to deepen their understanding of key ideas such as:
- Context
- Audience
- Purpose
Students will engage in modelled exercises designed to develop their reading and analysing skills which will transfer to assessments. Once students can analyse texts, they will apply their new knowledge to communicate their ideas creatively and critically.
The skills of reading, understanding and responding form the foundation for long-term success in English.
