Unit 1: English

In Unit 1, students read and view texts to make personal connections while exploring characters, settings, plots, ideas, values, and author perspectives. They develop effective writing skills by creating imaginative, persuasive, and informative texts for different audiences and purposes. Through guided reading of mentor texts, students examine how vocabulary, text structures, language features, and ideas combine to create engaging and cohesive writing.

Unit 2: English

In Unit 2, students build on Unit 1 by studying a different text type and exploring how historical, social, and cultural contexts shape meaning. They analyse persuasive texts and arguments across different media, developing analytical writing skills using evidence to support their ideas. Through drafting, feedback, and revision, students refine their writing for clarity and accuracy, and apply their understanding of argument by creating and presenting their own point of view.
