Welcome to Year 7 English at Servite College. This year students will begin to explore how texts are deliberately constructed to convey specific messages to an audience. Students will view, read, create and perform a variety of written, spoken and visual texts that are designed to inform, persuade and entertain. Students will engage with a variety of texts for enjoyment. They listen to, read, view, interpret, evaluate and perform a range of spoken, written and multimodal texts in which the primary purpose is aesthetic, as well as texts designed to inform and persuade. An exciting year ahead… enjoy! 

This video explores the chronological history of the English language and how events in each period shaped the words, spelling, pronunciation and grammar of English. We explore the cultural and social influences on Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English and Modern English.  English words are derived from Latin, Greek and French origin.

Students will read a variety of short stories and critically analyse them using short answer responses. They will also identify and explain a range of language conventions and narrative devices through guided and independent analysis
