English Studies 12

In their final year of study, with the purposes of expanding their understanding of what it means to be both an educated Canadian and a global citizen, and also of contributing to reconciliation by building a greater comprehension of the knowledge and perspectives of First Peoples, students will explore texts from a variety of sources that reflect diverse worldviews, including traditional ones. They will gain insight into the many factors that shape identity, deepening their understanding of themselves and others in a changing world and appreciating the importance of self-representation through text. To achieve their personal and career goals, they will be challenged to think critically and creatively about the uses of language and to refine their ability to communicate effectively. This course satisfies the Language Arts 12 requirement for graduation.
