Year 7 english
In Year 7, learners move from simply enjoying texts to explaining how they work. They name and discuss language features such as imagery and sound devices, recognise common persuasive techniques, and begin writing structured analytical paragraphs that make a point, support it with evidence and explain its effect. They also experiment with sentence variety and point of view in their own writing.
