Title overview

The 2nd Edition of the Pearson English 10 Activity Book offers updated texts, activities, design, and coverage of the Australian Curriculum: English. It caters to students of all abilities, including students with English as an Additional Language.

The Pearson English Activity Books are designed to develop and consolidate students’ knowledge and understanding of the English language and grammar. They integrate cumulative learning in the Language strand of the curriculum, as well as in the Literature and Literacy strands.

Using the Activity Books, students develop higher-order language and literacy skills. They are supported with a solid language foundation, clear explanations, and scaffolded learning. Students are exposed to rich and varied literature sources and text types, including contemporary and classic texts, Australian Aboriginal storytelling, and news articles.

Each level of the Activity Books includes core units that offer clear Language explanations followed by scaffolded activities to use the language in context and build on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, reading, and writing skills. At the back of the book, four revision units support students in preparing for summative assessment.
