Welcome to NCEA Level 2 English. You will analyze different texts and unpack what the creator's purpose is. You will learn how to articulate your thoughts in a sophisticated fashion. You will be working on Internal Assessments throughout the year which will be based on the written and visual texts that we will explore as a class. You will also be preparing for External Assessments (exams). For this you will be assessed on the extended and visual texts that we have studied in class.
