ENGLISH Advanced 

Warrnambool College runs an Advanced English option in Year 10. Selection of students is based on teacher recommendations, A&E reports, attendance and scrutiny of past performance by the English Faculty. We want to ensure students who are placed in this class are the best fit for the subject and will therefore experience success in this accelerated environment.  

What will I learn?

In this unit, students will use texts from a range of genres, styles and periods to enhance and build their skills in analysis, persuasion and text comparison. 

What will I do?

Students will have the opportunity to create and edit their own writing to further explore their capabilities and interests. Through this, they will use a range of mediums and platforms to present their work while collaborating with others. Students will be given the opportunity to identify and reflect on personal learning needs and develop strategies to help them to improve. 

What will this lead to?

This program will prepare students with the skills for success in both VCE English and VCE Literature.

• I want to engage with a variety of different texts

• I want to develop my skills in higher-order thinking in English through Literature

Duration: 5 periods per week for one year
