"Sports do not build character, they reveal it!" John Wooden
If you enjoy watching, playing, analysing or researching the history of sport, then this is the course for you. This course focuses on sports' place in our society, history and future. How has sport shaped or changed our society? How has it developed the culture of our communities?
This course explores key thinking and communication skills through texts based primarily around sports themes. We do this through a mixture of Achievement and Unit standards.
English as a subject area focuses on the two key strands – making meaning and creating meaning. We focus on communication through a range of texts and mediums to reflect societal changes and 21st Century learning foci. English encompasses learning the language, using the language and thinking beyond the language through authentic learning contexts.
Specifically, this involves learners being willing to have their ideas challenged; to developing their own ideas and opinions through critical literacy and working on the skills required to be confident using their own personal voice.
Please note that this course does not offer course endorsement and will limit the options available in Level 2 English, however will support literacy and language learning.
