Year 9 English
9ENGYear 9 English develops students’ confidence, creativity, and critical thinking through a range of reading, writing, speaking, and viewing experiences. Over the course of the year, students will study one novel, a selection of poetry, a film or drama text, short written texts, and non-fiction texts from a variety of cultures, contexts, and perspectives.
Throughout the course, students will strengthen their ability to communicate ideas clearly and effectively while developing close reading, analysis, and oral presentation skills. Kaiako will encourage students to think critically about language, identity, culture, and the world around them. Students will also produce a range of written and oral texts for different audiences and purposes.
The course focuses on building foundational literacy, textual and critical analysis, interpreting and creating meaning, and using language purposefully across a variety of contexts.
Competitions: Students will be invited to join a range of internal and external competitions throughout the year.
Course Costs: There are stationery costs associated with each course. Ākonga are encouraged to purchase any extended texts required. Kaiako may organise performances for their classes throughout the course of the year, and may ask for a contribution to help cover costs.
