Module One Introduction

Welcome to the first module of your Year 7 English course!

Module One is all about different types of texts. You will learn about many different forms of fiction and non-fiction texts, such as poetry, stories and drama.

The assignment will focus on analysing a poem.

The key skills you need to demonstrate (for reading) are:

  • Interpretation: understand the main ideas in a text, make inferences (‘read between the lines’) and interpretations and evaluate why a text is important.
  • Methods: explore the effects of the methods (such as techniques or word choices) that writers use to create texts and comment on the impact of the methods.

You should work through each topic, reading the texts, completing the activities and watching any videos.

Before you complete Assignment One, there are five topics to complete:
