Year 10 English Course

Overview

The English curriculum is built around the three interrelated strands of Language, Literature and Literacy. Teaching and learning programs should balance and integrate all three strands. Together the strands focus on developing students' knowledge, understanding and skills in listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating. Learning in English builds on concepts, skills and processes developed in earlier years, and teachers will revisit and strengthen these as needed.

Independent Reading

Students are expected to read regularly and widely, both in class and as a part of their homework program.

Assessment

The following types of assessments and weightings will be undertaken:

Reception: 45% | Production: 40% | Examination: 15%

Examinations will take place at the end of Semesters One and Two and will cover key content of the unit or units covered in that semester.

Reporting

The achievement for the unit will be reported as a College A - E grade. In addition, the student's approach to class work and behaviour will be reported via the usual key performance indicators.

Student Expectations/Homework

Students will be expected to complete approximately 60 minutes of homework each week. This time should be spent consolidating material covered in class as well as any assigned tasks.
