Ministry of Education – English 12 Learning Outcomes Link

Recommended prerequisites:

Although the Ministry of Education does not require a prerequisite for this course, students need to be working at a grade 12 level to be successful in the course.

Resources:

Most of the material needed is provided on line; however, you will require the novel “The Kite Runner”. If you are unable to find a copy of the novel, you may get one from Riverside Centre but you will be required to leave a deposit of $50 (the book deposit will be 100% refunded when the novel is returned to the school)

Assessment:

  • Questions: 40%
  • Essays/paragraphs: 40%
  • Projects/discussions: 20%

All Class work is worth 60% of your final mark.  The Provincial exam is worth 40% of your final mark.  The two marks will be blended together to arrive at your final mark.

Students not writing the provincial exam will do an in-class final exam.

*Students not writing the provincial exam will be required to come into Riverside Centre to write a final exam.

Student Responsibilities

Students are expected to log onto the course and to submit one assignment (or have contact with their instructor) each week.  Students who do not log onto the course or keep in contact with their instructor on a weekly basis will be viewed as having withdrawn from their online course and will be notified by their instructor that they are being withdrawn from the course.  Students who withdraw from an online course are not allowed by Ministry of Education regulations to retake the same online course for two reporting periods.
