Howick College
Year 10 Creative Design: English and Social Studies (10CRD)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Francks.
Creative Design is made up of the core curriculum areas of:
- English
- Social Studies
Expression and communication of ideas is a critical skill in both the core curriculum areas of English and Social Studies. This curriculum combination allows students to learn and develop their communication and interpretation skills through texts, topics, and issues that allow them to see their world in different ways.
Creative Design is intended to develop students' creativity and self-management so they can understand and clearly communicate ideas about the world around them. Topics may include:
- Local History
- Social action and protest - past and present
- Human rights and responsibilities
- Dystopia and utopia
This course will explicitly develop the college Capabilities of:
- Creative Thinking – to develop qualities like entrepreneurship, flexibility, and curiosity.
In Creative Design Creativity is explored by students through investigating different challenges in society, learning different communication skills, and expressing their ideas in different ways.
- Self Management – building character through resilience, leadership, and initiative
Self Management is developed through practicing skills and exploring topics that are intellectually challenging. We encourage students to take responsible risks in their learning as they make decisions about their learning and take on complex tasks.
