In English First Peoples 12, this course builds upon and extends students’ previous learning experiences in ELA courses, (which is an abbreviation for "English Language Arts.") The course is grounded in the First Peoples Principles of Learning. This particular area of the course will allow the students to dive into the First Peoples’ oral and written literature. It is designed for all students to think critically and creatively as they continue to explore, extend, and strengthen their own writing. Within a supportive community, students work individually and collaboratively to explore oral and written literature and create powerful, purposeful compositions.

 

Furthermore, through the study of authentic Indigenous text students will be able to extend their capacity to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts, deepen their understanding of themselves and insights into key aspects of Canada’s past, present, and future as related to First Peoples, and expand their understanding of what it means to be educated Canadian and global citizens.

 

This course meets the new graduation requirement to have 4 credits in both an Indigenous Focused course, and the English Language Arts 12 requirement for all students graduating in B.C after September 2023.
