English Language Arts offers students in Grades 9, 10, and 11 an opportunity to earn an English credit through experiential, community, and learning through nature. Grounded in the Ontario English Curriculum, the course develops reading, writing, oral communication, and media literacy skills through authentic, hands-on experiences. Students explore a range of texts, from contemporary Canadian voices to the works of Shakespeare, to examine themes of identity, perspective, and human connection. Learning takes place in both indoor and outdoor settings, where students read, write, and collaborate in meaningful contexts. The culminating task invites students to interpret and creatively present selections from a Shakespeare play, demonstrating a deep and personal understanding of language, story, and performance.
