NCEA Level 3 English General
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: J. Bacarella.
In this course, we will continue to develop English skills from previous years and explore how and why writers and directors communicate their messages the way they do.
This will relate to the development of characters, themes, relationships, conflicts and more.
We will also continue to develop the ability to express ideas and understanding of texts in a variety of ways.
Mostly visual texts (with the inclusion of some written texts) will be used as guides to assist with this.
