__Hello Year 12's__,
This site is to help you with NCEA this year. It has information to help you in NCEA English. You can help yourself by being organised, knowing your deadlines, asking questions, doing homework, studying and practising essays. However, it helps to know what you're aiming for, so for this reason I'm including information to help you understand your goals. So, to begin with - [|How many credits do I need?] You need four reading and four writing credits at level 2.

The course has the following parts. __Internal work__ Formal Writing 3 Writing Credits Creative Writing 3 Writing Credits Dramatic Monologue or Speech. (You get a choice for the last internal!) 3 Credits You also do a Wide Reading Unit Standard 4 Reading Credits

__External Exams__ Unfamiliar Texts 3 Reading Credits Extended Texts 3 Reading or Writing Credits Visual Text 3 Reading or Writing Credits

__Advice for Internal Assessments__ Read your handouts carefully. Highlight or underline the required parts you have to do. Read the tasks - they give you an idea of how to develop your project, or practice at skills you need to demonstrate in the work. Always study the exemplars and comments beside them. Work out what the words in the assessment criteria mean. Also consider the difference between Achieved and Merit. Merit and Excellence.

__The External Exams__ Check out the separate exam page. __[|Dates and Times this year]__
