Learning Essentials

Grade 10 Learning Essentials is a one year course which is currently under construction. Please keep revisiting to see new materials as they emerge. The subject aims to help students who struggle, to build certain skills which have been identified as essential for 21st Century learners.

The resources here were largely created using Adobe Spark. They each contain links to TED Talks, and activities that aim to appeal to students. This page will continue to be under construction.

Learning Enrichment is the teacher's page for this subject.

Knowing What I Need to Know Is the launching pad for students so that they understand the purpose of the subject. We will revisit this page as we travel through the year.

What is your Vision? is a page that explores visual literacy and social commentary. It aims to not only engage students in creating, analysing and responding to both local and global contexts but teaches them how to use Edpuzzle, Adobe Spark and Google Art Projects and Tour Builder. It can be reached by clicking on the link italicized above.

Find your Life in Music is a set of activities that explores music as a metaphor for life. The concept of applying extended metaphors can be difficult for students to grasp so by using the TED Talk and then student's own often eclectic musical preferences, they are more able to grasp the idea.



The Danger Of The Single Story in term 4 is about developing skills that will be needed for Grade 11 & 12. We will use a passion project to drive our learning. This link will introduce you to the danger of the single stories we tell ourselves and present to others.


Writing Essays- The Perfect Introduction.

This Adobe Spark Page aims to help you identify weaknesses in your past assignment introductions so that you can work to improve both your essay structure and introductions before upcoming tasks are due. The skills and structure learned here will help enormously in Grade 11 and 12.
