Year 9 English (9ENG)

Year 9 English sees learners begin to develop their critical thinking through evaluation of self through the lens of Identity. Learners begin to explore a range of texts both provided and self selected which explore tikanga, cultural values and identities. The course focuses heavily on developing a range of writing styles and skills which enables the learners to express increasingly complex ideas and responses to texts and inquiry projects. Readings continue to increase in complexity of both ideas and structure to prepare learners for the following year.
