English Language Arts 20

The course is centered around two themes with each theme containing two modules.

Theme #1: Beginning and Becoming (Modules One & Two)

Theme #2: Moving Forward – Establishing & Realizing (Modules Three & Four)

All of the literature components in the course deal with the “coming of age” idea that as we journey through life we learn about ourselves, others and the world. The literature also deals with turning points and transitions that occur in our life’s journey that may affect the path we are on.

The course will engage students to extend their language skills and strategies through opportunities to view, listen, read, speak, write and use other forms of representing.  The aim of the Saskatchewan curriculum is to help students understand and appreciate language and to use it confidently and competently in a variety of situations for learning and communication in school and in life.
