Literary Studies 12

Note: Although this is a Grade 12 4-credit course and counts toward graduation, students will still need to take either “English Studies 12” or “English First Peoples 12” in order to graduate. 

Literary Studies 12 allows students to delve more deeply into literature through increasingly complex texts. Students can explore specific themes, periods, authors, or areas of the world through literary works (fiction and non-fiction) in a variety of media. Linking world literature to current events and concerns/topics important to today’s students will:

  • increase their literacy skills through close reading of appropriately challenging texts.
  • enhance their development of the English Language Arts curricular competencies, both expressive and receptive
  •  expand their development as educated global citizens
  • develop balance and broaden their understanding of themselves and the world
  • further refine higher-level thinking and learning skills
