What Year 9 English students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 9 English standard sentences this code builds towards:
- By the end of Year 9, students interact with others, and listen to and create spoken and multimodal texts including literary texts.
- They select and experiment with language features including literary devices, and experiment with multimodal features and features of voice.
- They read, view and comprehend a range of texts created to inform, influence and/or engage audiences.
- They analyse representations of people, places, events and concepts, and how texts respond to contexts.
- They select and experiment with text structures to organise, develop and link ideas.
- They select and experiment with text structures to organise and develop ideas.
