During Years 7 to 9, students will read and interact with interesting texts, learn about different genres, styles and contexts, have opportunities to be creative and imaginative with their own writing, and practise expressing their opinions in a variety of ways. We want students to enjoy English, whilst developing an understanding of how writers use language and structure to create meaning. The curriculum will provide students with the tools they need to be able to comment on how texts make them think and feel, so that they can develop their ability to manipulate their own language and structural features, in order to communicate powerfully in both speech and written work.
