Français 12 is a continuation of learning you have done in French 11.
Students will be exploring communication, acquiring information, experience creative works and understanding cultural influences. The activities and exercises cover oral, writing expression and comprehension
The Core French curriculum endorses, what is commonly referred to as, the communicative experiential approach. In this approach, the focus of instruction is the purposeful use of the language to perform real-life tasks, share ideas, acquire information, and get things done. Grammar instruction plays a supportive role – to provide useful strategies to facilitate communication and comprehension. In this, course students develop the skills of reading, writing, listening, speaking and interacting. They also learn about the important role grammar and culture play in gaining a deeper understanding of language.

This course is an exploration of community and student identity. The BC Ministry of Education has established core competencies that include the requirement for all students to have a “set of abilities that relate to students’ identity in the world, both as individuals and as members of their community and society” (2016). We are all diverse people and it is important for us to recognize and celebrate the communities we belong to.
Humanities 8 incorporates the topics of Social Studies 8- which discusses the 7th Century to 1750-with the communications skills of English Language Arts 8. In this project-based course, students will also earn credit for Arts Education 8 and ADST 8 (Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies). Through project-based learning, students study historical events, and gain an understanding of the people, places, issues, and events that have shaped the world they live in. By studying some of the many different cultures and ways of life that exist and have existed throughout the world, students will develop both a deeper understanding of the differences between peoples and an appreciation of the aspects of human experience shared across time and space.
Students develop an understanding and appreciation of language and literature, and the capacity to engage fully as literate and responsible citizens in a digital age. Students are guided in learning to think critically, creatively, and reflectively; to construct a sense of personal and cultural identity; and to be respectful of a range of perspectives and worldviews.
Combine your passion with your talent to earn up to four-course credits in Independent Directed Studies!
There are two scenarios for an IDS course.
Firstly, students are often already involved with clubs and lessons in their locale. This option allows students to earn up to four credits for instruction and practice they are already doing as long as that learning can be linked to Ministry approved Prescribed Learning Outcomes. This type of IDS is a popular choice for many senior students taking training in fine arts, but is not limited to fine arts.
Secondly, students may wish to enroll in several shorter courses or training sessions which are linked by a similar focus. For example, students might wish to create an outdoor focus, a media focus, or a social justice focus. Students need to submit a list of courses and activities linked by a focus and then work with the IDS teacher to match the focus activities and lessons to Ministry Approved Prescribed Learning Outcomes. Students will also need to supply evidences of participation and learning in each short course or activity.
Note: Independent Directed Studies 10, 11, 12 do not apply toward Adult Dogwood Graduation Credits

Over the course, learners will competently learn about the scales, notes and modes of the guitar, and learn how to combine their knowledge of theory with practice.
