Year 11 English 101

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Matheson.

At the heart of Year 11 English is the idea that engaging with text is a source of enjoyment and enrichment. In this course, students will explore Aotearoa New Zealand (Māori, Pacific and Pākehā voices) and world literature. Through access to text they will develop their ability to use language and respond critically, build on their sense of identity and awareness of the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand and increase their understanding of the world. Students will also build skill in writing and creating meaning for themselves and others.

Assessment: All students will complete up to 15 credits in this course. The writing standard (1.3), worth a further 5 credits, will be offered to students based on individual achievement in the two internal standards.

Please note:

Based on achievement in Year 9 and 10, your teacher will recommend which English course you should take.
