DP Language & Literature
General Class Description
According to the IB Language A: language and literature subject guide, students will closely examine both literary and non-literary texts in a variety of media to better understand the ways in which language and literature molds and is influenced by identity and culture. Students will gain this understanding through the study of meaning and how it’s created in various forms of communication. This, and the engagement of secondary texts will be scrutinized through activities of a wide range. The activities may include analysis of “literary theory, sociolinguistics, media studies and critical discourse analysis among others” (IB Language A: language & literature).
We will utilize the IB Approaches to Learning to strengthen our skills as students in this course and every course at Pulaski. We will also become aware of how the Learner Profiles help us to become better students.
Please be aware that this class is supported by a Google Classroom. Please check your email account for an invitation to view Guardian Summaries.
