The Sigma Workbook 'AS 1.10 Personal Response to Texts' is a write-on student workbook covering the English skills students need to gain AchievedMerit, or Excellence in this NCEA Level 1 Achievement Standard. The work covers only Achievement Standard 1.10 'Personal Response to Texts' (AS90854)

This workbook contains a large number of write-on student tasks designed to help students practise the skills necessary to develop a deeper understanding in this area of the New Zealand English curriculum. Students will also find detailed instruction boxes, glossaries and other resources that will develop the ideas, vocabulary and processes needed to gain a high level pass in the internal assessment for this Standard. 

This workbook helps students form quality responses to texts they have independently selected and read themselves. Elements such as theme, setting, characters and plot of a text are explored and templates for preparing a written report are included. Beside extended texts, other text types covered include poetry, short story, and plays. A sample report is included showing exactly where the phrases that gain achievement, merit and excellence passes are located. A full set of task answers is included, which act as a guide to structuring a quality report. An abbreviated version of Achievement Standard 1.10 is also included in the resource.

  • A Reading/Viewing/Listening Log
