Our Program
Our new course will have a two-pronged focus: firstly, to prepare students to excel within the boundaries of the high-school English curriculum; and secondly, to challenge them to move beyond classroom-learning and to be able to meaningfully engage with the adult world of media, politics, and global affairs.
We emphasize the development of analytical and communicative skills which will help students improve their results in all areas of academic achievement. Additionally, the course prepares students to excel in writing competitions, and several activities throughout the program are geared towards participating in the CBC Creative Nonfiction Contest
LinkedKey’s reading and writing course will teach:
Identify and explain themes and arguments in a fiction or non-fiction
Understand and accurately reproduce the structural and stylistic elements of an academic essay
Understand and identify common themes and devices used in literature
