Course Curriculum

What you'll cover in ENG4C

  • Literary Criticism: Reading with Analytical Eyes - Students develop the skills of literary analysis by applying critical frameworks to a range of texts. The unit introduces literary criticism as a practice, examining how readers bring different perspectives to texts and how those perspectives shape interpretation. Students write structured analytical responses that demonstrate independent critical thinking.
  • Poetry: Language at Its Most Concentrated - Students read and analyze poetry from a range of voices and traditions, focusing on how poets make deliberate choices about language, form, and structure to create specific effects and meanings. Students write their own poems in response to works studied in class, developing their personal voice through experimentation and revision.
  • Essay Writing: Structuring an Argument - Students develop their skills in analytical and persuasive essay writing, learning to construct well-organized arguments supported by specific evidence. The unit covers thesis development, paragraph structure, integration of evidence, counterargument, and revision strategies — producing writers who can make a clear, logical case in any context.
  • Novel Study: A Complete Literary Experience - Students read a full-length novel and analyze it holistically, examining how the author creates a complete fictional world through character, setting, plot, theme, and style. Students develop the ability to sustain a close reading over an extended text and write detailed analyses that demonstrate genuine understanding of the work.
