Dear Students,
The Literature Program is taught over two to three years, depending on the level studied.
Students study a variety of literary texts, including poems, short stories, and plays or novels, according to the requirements of their English level.
As part of the Literature Program, students complete:
* Post-reading and/or bridging assignments
* Summative assessments
* Book reports as part of the extensive reading program
The final literature grade is based on a combination of:
* Summative assessments
* Post-reading / bridging assignments
* Book reports
Book reports are completed throughout the program and encourage students to develop reading fluency and reading for pleasure.
Key Components of Teaching Literature:
Post-reading / Bridging Assignments encourage students to respond to literature in different ways, either in writing or orally. These assignments must demonstrate understanding of the literary text and include justification from the text.
Bridging Text and Context activities encourage learners to understand connections between the text, universal themes, and relevant information and ideas from other sources. These sources may include the biography and personality of the author, themes, and aspects of the historical, social, and cultural contexts of the text.
