Ms. Danicic, English, Grade 11 and 12, College Preparation
- Teacher: Ms. Danicic
"The English curriculum ... recognizes the
central importance of language and literature in learning and everyday
life and prepares students for the literacy demands they will face as
Canadians and members of the global community ... As students read and
reflect on rich variety of literature,
informational texts, and media works, they deepen their understanding of
themselves and the world around them ... Through the study of
literature, students strengthen their ability to use language as an
effective tool for thought, expression, and communication" (Ministry of
Education: Ontario Curriculum, Grade 11 and 12 English). In this
course, students will explore media sources, short written works,
and the novel. Assessments will include quests, quizzes, presentations, observations and conversations, the final exam, the
CCA (course culminating assessment), and formal writing assignments
(persuasive paragraph, news report, and essay). Students will have the opportunity to improve their English
skills through class conversations, practice activities, group projects,
self-assessment, peer-assessment, and formative teacher feedback.
