Year 7 English

Year 7 classes study English across four core topics spread throughout the year. Students will explore a different unit each term. During Term 1 Year 7 students will learn about autobiographical writing and story telling. They will study a range of texts and text types that will include non-fiction texts; autobiographical writing, poetry and film, Shakespeare and the language of Shakespeare as well as studying visual literacy and picture books. Our programs are based on the K-10 English Curriculum, with an emphasis on strengthening students reading, writing, speaking, listening and viewing and representing skills as well as creating technological multi-modal texts.. Students will also sit their NAPLAN exam during Year 7, in which they will be assessed on literacy including reading, writing and language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation).
