Year 9 and 10 English

Students have now completed their Term 3 assessment tasks.  You would have been notified via email if your student did not complete this task.  Please also check your child's Seesaw and ask them to show you their work uploaded to the Assessment task activity.  Teachers will also be uploading GTMJs and results as they complete marking this term and early next term. This term, students in both Year 9 and 10 had to complete spoken tasks, which means that if they did not submit their recorded spoken tasks, they will not pass the task, because their submission does not meet the requirements of the task.

We remind parents and students that students should be using class time effectively and seeking assistance at WIN time, if they require additional help. Students are given ample time in class to complete assessment tasks in English. If they use their class time effectively, they should be able to use homework time to edit and proofread their work, employ teacher feedback and record any spoken tasks.

Next term, students in Year 9 and 10 English will be completing supervised tasks based on texts they are currently reading and analysing.  

Reminder - please contact and send a completed Extension form to your child's class teacher and/or myself (dgodd2@eq.edu.au) if your child has been unwell or will be absent for a period of time.  We are always happy to work with students and families to ensure that students are able to submit their best work, but if we are not aware of things that arise, we are not able to assist effectively.
