English

Building upon the fundamentals of language established in Grades 7 and 8, the English course in Grades 9 and 10 pushes the students to further consider the way they can be manipulated by language and how to use language effectively to convey their own messages. Students have increased opportunity to work collaboratively on a wide variety of text types; from marketing campaigns, through to persuasive essays and narratives. Tools are provided to take the students’ communication skills deeper.
