In this course, students will study written and visual texts closely, then choose their own assessments from within Media and English (with a focus on NCEA level 2 and 3) to complete in the latter stages of the term, dependent on where their interests lie and what levels they are most likely to achieve. A list of Media Studies standards can be found here and English standards here.

This term we'll carry on with our study of 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir. If you're new to this class, please make sure you have a copy of this book to bring to class beforehand, and read the first half of the book to catch up!

Disclaimer 1: If you haven't yet completed any standards at level 1 in Media Studies or English, then this course is not for you! Refer to my Minglish class in Red if that's the case.

Disclaimer 2: This'll largely be a device-free class. I have pretty high expectations when it comes to engagement and respect for the learning of others. :)
