Our tutors will teach Year 10 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they develop advanced skills in reading, writing, and communication. By the end of Year 10, students interact with others and create spoken and multimodal texts, adapting language features and structures to engage audiences and convey ideas effectively. They read and analyse a wide range of texts, evaluating how people, places, and events are represented and how language features shape meaning. Students experiment with text structures in their writing and use literary and rhetorical devices to enhance their creative, persuasive, and analytical texts.
Language:
Year 10 students learn how language can be inclusive or exclusive and how it shapes social interactions. They explore text structures and their effectiveness in different contexts, using complex sentences and varied paragraph structures to enhance cohesion. They expand their technical and academic vocabulary and analyse how authors use syntax, punctuation, and imagery to achieve stylistic effects.
Literature:
Students engage with literature by analysing the representation of individuals, groups, and events in texts from diverse cultural and historical contexts, including works by First Nations Australian authors. They evaluate the use of literary devices such as symbolism, metaphor, and irony, exploring how these shape interpretations and influence reader responses. Students also create and refine their own literary texts, experimenting with voice, style, and text structures to develop original stories and poetry.
Literacy:
Students practise listening and speaking skills, presenting arguments and analysing spoken texts. They critically evaluate how language features represent values and beliefs, and how texts are organised to achieve specific purposes. Writing tasks include creating detailed analytical and persuasive essays, reflective pieces, and multimodal presentations, using evidence and structuring their ideas effectively. They also develop their editing skills, focusing on the accuracy of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
