English (10ENGL)

Course Outline
Students will develop the skills gained in Year 9. A particular focus is understanding, responding to and using oral, written and visual language in a range of contexts. More formal study of literary genres will include: short stories, non-fiction, novels, poetry, and drama, but the emphasis will be on wide reading. Students will develop essay related skills for use in formal writing and literature analysis, as well as more formal speech-making skills. They will learn how to story board and produce a short film and they will study a feature film in detail.
