Year 7 - English

The study of English is central to the learning and development of all young Australians. It helps create confident communicators, imaginative thinkers, and informed citizens. It is through the study of English that individuals learn to analyse, understand, communicate, and build relationships with others and with the world around them. The study of English helps young people develop the knowledge and skills needed for education, training, and the workplace. In Year 7 English, students study a variety of different text types throughout the two semesters. Students create a range of imaginative, informative, and persuasive writing pieces. These may include narratives, procedures, performances, presentations, and reports. Students are encouraged to read a variety of texts including non-fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, and historical genres. Key learning areas in English include the modes of ‘Reading and Viewing,’ ‘Writing,’ and ‘Speaking and Listening,’ as well as the strands of language, literature, and literacy.
