Student Textbook

All 22 First Year Learning Outcomes are covered with emphasis on the three strands of the Junior Cycle English specification: oral language, reading and writing
The clear, simple design helps to focus students and prevent cognitive overload
Fresh, exciting and engaging text extracts, both traditional and contemporary, are used throughout from novels, plays, films, digital texts and multi-modal texts
Units are carefully structured around the recommended genre-based approach and cover the following genres: fiction, poetry, film, drama, Shakespeare and non-fiction
These sequenced units of learning begin by building a strong knowledge base for each genre, develop oral communication, reading and writing skills, and end with a project
They are designed to be either covered in sequence or to be dipped into and out, for ease of use
A stand-alone Shakespeare unit, a first with this programme, introduces students to the world of Shakespeare and builds knowledge and understanding of the grammar and punctuation of a Shakespearean text
Each unit begins with a knowledge organiser of genre-based critical vocabulary and ends with a Test Your Knowledge quiz
Highly scaffolded tasks effectively support mixed-ability teaching in the English classroom
Retrieval practice opportunities that build on prior learning appear throughout
Oral language supports include a strong focus on using structured and meaningful group discussion
