Working individually and collaboratively, students will explore a variety of oral, visual, digital and written texts, including First Peoples and Canadian perspectives, and reflect on their different purposes, audiences and messages. Students will synthesize an understanding of the social, cultural and personal connections of the texts by extending their critical thinking skills through inquiry and other creative avenues. The writing process and conventions of language in a multi-paragraph format, and other presentation techniques, will be applied by students to explain their understanding of the various texts.
All students should complete English classes in the recommended pre-requisite order.
