Welcome to Year 9 English 

Your voice, your opinion, your experience and your story matters. Your voice and your story is a gift and one that you should treasure, take care of and nurture. This year we will journey together in learning about:

• We will look at Our Stories - we will look at the stories and experiences of others and you will write about your own story and experience. 

• We will focus on Our Stories - we will look at the stories and experiences of those in our community. You will create a text that is a response to the stories we have studied from our own community. 

• We will explore Our Stories - the stories and experiences of those inside and outside of our community.  The stories of our community in Glen Innes, Aotearoa New Zealand and in the world are unique taonga tuku iho. 

• We will explore Our Voices - We will look at the stories and experiences of others. You will craft an oral text as a response.
