| Main Areas of Study: | ||||
| In this course, you will build on the foundations of Level 1 English, with a strong focus on visual texts and critical thinking. Through the powerful themes of survival and difficult decisions, you will explore how people adapt, endure, and relate - in film, fiction, and the real world. You will research a topic of your choice, analyse a film in depth through close viewing, and explore connections between a range of texts. Later, you’ll craft a concise, purposeful short report and prepare for the NCEA exam with focused essay writing on a studied visual text. This course is perfect for students who enjoy film, want to strengthen their writing skills, and are ready to think deeply about how stories shape our understanding of the world. |
