Year 9

Students are currently analysing picture books and writing analytical paragraphs on the language features and text structures in these. The books we are analysing are: Home and Away, John Marsden and Matt Otley; The Island, Armin Greder; and The Arrival, Shaun Tan.

Year 10

Students have been studying drama in English. Essential English students are studying The Stones and various written and visual texts and will complete an exam. General English students have been studying Romeo and Juliet and learning how to write an analytical essay for their analytical essay exam. We were lucky enough to have performances of both plays for our students to watch in the PAC. Both of these exams will take place at the end of Week 7 and students will be given the exam stimulus/topics 1 week prior to the exam.
