Welcome to the Wize English Language Arts Course!
While this course is aligned to meet curricular expectations for grades 11 and 12 across Canadian provinces, you'll find that many of the lessons and overview concepts apply to first year college or university writing courses. The foundations of good reading and writing practice are the foundations, whether you master them in high school or college/university!
The chapters are broken down to provide you with the key skills required for high school analytical and critical reading and writing skills.
Chapter 5 moves into oral storytelling texts, and Chapter 6 looks at image-based media.
Go at your own pace. Pick and choose what lessons to watch when you want. Dive in deeply to some. Skim others. It's up to you!
Let's get learning!
