Baradene College
Year 9 English
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Mrs A. Harrison.
The Junior English programme covers the two strands of the New Zealand English Curriculum:
- Creating Meaning
- Making Meaning
In each year of the programme, students study several units that introduce them to the study of literature at secondary level. These units are designed to help prepare students for Senior English. Each level studies a Shakespeare text as well as two other extended texts.
The focus is on exploring genre and text conventions. Students are assisted to develop effective note-making and study organisation skills, to read widely and thoughtfully and to write accurately and effectively. Students have many enriching opportunities to extend their English studies into areas of personal interest and to produce a range of written, visual and oral texts.
Year 9 English at Baradene College is compulsory. All Year 8 students will be entered into the Year 9 English course or the Year 9 English as a Second Language course (at the discretion of the Head of Facility).
