Year 9 English Notes

Analyse how language choices create authority, solidarity, distance and evaluation in spoken and written interactions.

Analyse and control larger text structures, cohesive links and nominalisation in increasingly complex texts.

Analyse and create sentence structures that control emphasis, pace, qualification and relationships among ideas.

Analyse how figurative language, sound, symbolism and precise vocabulary establish style, mood and meaning.

Use quotation, paraphrase, attribution and consistent referencing to distinguish sources from original analysis.

Analyse how texts select, foreground and omit details to represent people, groups, places, ideas and values.

Develop and refine personal and critical responses by linking preferences and aesthetic judgements to textual evidence.

Explain how allusion, adaptation, genre and historical or cultural contexts reshape meaning across texts.

Select, integrate and closely analyse evidence so paragraphs develop a defensible line of reasoning.

Compare texts through shared ideas, balanced evidence and synthesis rather than side-by-side summary.

Analyse how public and media texts use evidence, framing, argument and multimodal choices to position audiences.

Apply flexible strategies to navigate, infer, synthesise and evaluate complex print, digital and multimodal texts.

Create and edit literary texts by controlling voice, viewpoint, imagery, syntax, motif and structure.

Participate in discussion and create spoken texts using evidence, interaction, vocal delivery and audience awareness.

Plan, draft and edit sustained imaginative, informative and persuasive texts for audience, purpose and publication context.

Create and refine multimodal texts by coordinating words, image, sound, data, layout, interaction and accessibility.
