Level 2 English (ENB)
12ENB Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms V. Scott.
12ENB offers the exciting opportunity to study texts that focus on the human psyche. What makes us tick as humans? What drives our behaviour and dictates our societal norms and expectations? You will study a range of texts that prompt you to question the way our society works and the ways that humans interact with each other.
You will learn to:
- students will study the theme of Literature through a Psychological Lens
- critically respond to ideas in texts, using relevant evidence to justify your ideas and make connections between and beyond texts
- appreciate, understand and explore a range of text types, including contemporary and older literature, films and other texts
- create texts with increasing confidence and flair
- communicate ideas confidently and clearly in oral and written forms
- a combination of standards will allow students to achieve the University Entrance Literacy requirement
