Writing Course
Years 11 and 12
Hi teachers!
Teaching English in the senior years can be quite eye-opening as students become more capable of critically analysing the ideas they encounter in life and in texts. Run this course in your classroom to support students to generate powerful ideas and gather the right vocabulary to communicate with confidence.
