Students will demonstrate their writing skills in a variety of genres (narrative, expository, persuasive, poetry, research and visual/multimedia). Although this course will not be graded with a percentage, student achievement will be reflected on a continuum of learning. This continuum will measure student achievement within the three strands of this course: Speaking and Listening, Reading and Viewing, and Writing and Other Ways of Representing. Students will keep a portfolio of learning that will illustrate their growth in the Specific Curriculum Outcomes. Students and teachers will co-construct pathways to graduation.
