Papanui High School
ENGLISH CRAFTING SKILLS 31F - Full Year
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms A. Sullivan.
This course is designed to encourage students to think about how texts are crafted; both in what they create themselves and how directors, authors, orators etc. craft their own work. This is an academic course and allows student to enhance their creativity and reflect on how others have engaged in the process.
To do this course you should have L1 and the majority of L2 Literacy. If not, English with Communication may be a better choice for you.
Assessment
In this course students will be offered the following assessment opportunities:
AS 3.2: This is the external assessment for this course and will be a written exam that communicated their understanding of a studied visual text. They will learn to evaluate film techniques and consider director's purpose as they communicate their ideas in an essay.
AS 3.5: This is the oral presentation internal standard - please do not be scared of the concept of presenting a speech as this is not the only way this standard needs to be presented. There are options to pre-record your presentation, to present it as a podcast or to have the opportunity to teach your peers about an idea in a seminar style presentation. Through the course you will craft your oral presentation skills and develop skills that are incredibly important in leadership, work and study life and in your interpersonal relationships
AS 3.6: This is an internal standard where you will create a visual and verbal text that communicates an idea to your audience. This might be in the form of a visual essay, short film or screencastify for example. It's a creative task that requires well crafted skills that develop from your communication and critical thinking capabilities.
AS 3.7: This internal standard requires you to find commonalities between four different texts and communicate what you have learnt from evaluating these connections. Your four texts can be a variety of written, verbal, visual or oral texts and require you to select them yourself - meaning that you have a lot of control in picking what interests you. The final product can be completed in a variety of forms from a written report, to an oral presentation to a visual essay. We encourage students to work in ways that suit them.
AS 3.9: This internal standard requires students to closely view and evaluate the use of film techniques in a visual text. This forces students to think critically about the craft of the director and how they communicate ideas deliberately in their creations. Again, students have the opportunity to present this information in a variety of ways.

All assessments are NCEA achievement standards and students will be offered up to 17 credits.

Pathway
“Success in English is fundamental to success across the curriculum. All learning areas (with the possible exception of languages) require students to receive, process, and present ideas or information using the English language as a medium. ” - New Zealand Curriculum
As such we believe that taking English allows students to be set up for any future pathway they choose.
