New Hodder English - Sue Hackman

This text is part of the "New Hodder English" series, which follows the principles of the first "Hodder English" series, offering an incremental programme of integrated language and literature study through half-termly units. This series offers a course designed for the National Curriculum for 2000.;Each book offers a full year's work divided into five half-term units, plus two mini units in the final half term which help the pupil prepare for the following year. Progression is built into each unit, each book and across the course, and each unit focuses on quality literary and non-literary texts including many works by writers recommended in the Programme of Study. Purposeful speaking and listening activities are also included, along with activities which encourage the use of IT and the development of ICT skills. Book One is for use with Year 7 pupils beginning Key Stage 3 English studies. It is also suitable for first year secondary pupils in Scotland and Ireland. Units include fiction study on a story by Berlie Doherty and a language skills unit.
