Level 1 English (Lvl 1 Lit)
Option Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms M. Carrigan.
This Level 1 English course follows the new NCEA Level One English Currciulum.
Students are offered two internally assessed Achievement Standards.
Over the course of the year, you'll develop skills in reading, writing, and critical thinking. You’ll explore a variety of texts, including novels, short stories, films, and poetry, learning to analyse themes, language, and structure. You’ll also focus on writing clear and well-supported essays, crafting creative and formal pieces, and responding critically to literature and media.
Throughout the year, you'll work on internal assessments as well as prepare for external CAA exams (if needed), building your confidence and communication skills as you progress. Writing activities emphasise crafting clear, coherent responses that demonstrate an understanding of purpose, audience, and structure.
The course also covers foundational literacy elements such as sentence construction, vocabulary development, and comprehension strategies.
