Sweet+as+Year+10

Sweet as Year 10 Welcome to Year 10 English with Miss Englebretsen!

I'm really looking forward to an exciting Year exploring English with you all. As you are a digital class, you will become very familiar with this site, and you will be encouraged to contribute to it as well. Invite your parents to have a look so they can keep track of our learning journey.

This year all of the texts we are studying will be linked by the theme of SUSTAINABILITY. You may like to start discussing what this means to you, as a student in NZ in 2012. Are the issues of our impact on the environment important to you at this time? Do you think they could be important to you later in life? What kind of impact do environmental issues have on the world as a whole? You may think Sustainability has little to do with English, but I'm hoping throughout the year, that we will discover the opposite is true!

Each Term's work will be posted on this site, you may now wish to have a look at our first task...



Post your ideas for the 10EN Sustainability Challenge here!
