Literary Studies 12

Literary Studies 12 allows students to delve deeply into language and literature. Students will explore specific themes, periods, authors, or areas of the world through literary works (fiction and non-fiction) and a variety of media. Students will increase their literacy skills through close reading of appropriately challenging texts. Possible areas of focus, as they relate to written composition, include narrative, expository, descriptive, persuasive and opinion pieces. This course will also emphasize how to cite sources, assess the credibility of evidence, and evaluate the quality and reliability of sources. This course cannot replace English 12 for post-secondary admissions purposes.
