Year 7 English Day: Strategies, resources and unit ideas for engaging and rigorous courses
September 2, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
$250This workshop looks at the important year of transition from primary to secondary. It focuses on typical units we do at Year 7, and how to do them well, such as autobiographical/memoir units and persuasive writing units, but also suggests a range of other unit ideas to consider such as comparative units (and what texts to do), analysis or argument units, individual text response units and creative units. This workshop will also show teachers how to introduce skills at Year 7 which students will need in VCE English as well as how to align units and lessons with the new Victorian Curriculum to make instruction both engaging and rigorous.
