The purpose of this course is to allow you to further develop the skills you will need at the OAC level as well as to encourage you to take greater responsibility for what you learn. There will be increased student participation in the planning of this course. You will develop your skills through argumentative discourse, literary analysis, report and essay writing, presentations, seminars, and group work. Techniques of clear, effective expression will be emphasized. 1/6 of the course will involve media studies. Your work will be evaluated in the following categories: writing process, interactive learning and oral skills, work and study habits and independant study, tests and examinations. Marks will be weighted to reflect the proportion of time alotted to each activity in the class. To promote greater commitment to the learning process, this course allows you to choose ONE of the options that best suits your needs and interests. The same general skills will be taught in each option; however, in areas such as independant study, there will be greater emphasis on the topic that you have chosen.
