What (NEW) is Happening in English @ Gonzaga?

NEW(er) COURSES!

Literacy Skills, Grade 10, Open

ELS201

This course is designed to help students strengthen essential reading and writing skills, providing them with the extra literacy support they need in order to be successful in their core English courses and graduate from the diploma stream. Students will read informational, graphic, and literary texts, with a focus on locating information, identifying main ideas and supporting details, building vocabulary, and consolidating skills in the application of key comprehension strategies. The course will also help students develop core learning strategies fundamental to studying English language and literature.

Prerequisite: None

Presentation and Speaking Skills, Grade 11, Open

EPS3O1

This course emphasizes the knowledge and skills required to plan and make effective presentations and to speak effectively in both formal and informal contexts, using such forms as reports, speeches, debates, panel discussions, storytelling, recitations, interviews, and multimedia presentations. Students will research and analyse the content and characteristics of convincing speeches and the techniques of effective speakers; design and rehearse presentations for a variety of purposes and audiences; select and use visual and technological aids to enhance their message; and assess the effectiveness of their own and others’ presentations.

Prerequisite: ENG2P or ENG2D

Studies in Literature – Film, Literature and Social Justice, Grade 12, College Preparation

ETS4C1

This course is for students with a special interest in audio-visual and print media and social justice. This course will focus on social justice themes and how they intersect with these two mediums. Students will study a variety of forms and stylistic elements of literary texts and respond personally, critically, and creatively to them. They will also investigate critical interpretations, and create their own media text to promote social justice.

Prerequisite: ENG 3C, ENG3U or NBE3U

Grade 10 Academic Girls Literature Course

Calling all girls! This Academic Level course, specifically designed for female students, focuses on the social emotional and societal concerns of adolescent girls as examined through various narrative texts. This course is designed to extend the range of oral communication reading, writing, and media literacy skill that students need for success in their secondary school academic programs and in their daily lives. With an emphasis on the female protagonist, students are able to explore and critique the various depictions of young women in literature and the implications of such representations for themselves, society and a larger literary body of works. This course is intended to prepare students for the compulsory Grade 11 University or College Preparation course.
