ENGLISHENGLISH

English 11 or Communications 11 and English 12 or Commu-nications 12 must be completed successfully by all students as part of their Grade 12 graduation requirements. Essentially, English 11 and English 12 are recommended for all students going on to post-secondary institutions. Communications 11 and its sequel, Communications 12, are not recognized for direct entry to B.C.I.T., universities, and the university transfer program at the colleges. Decisions to move from English 10 to Communications 11 and 12 should be made only after consul-tation with parents, counsellors and, particularly, English teachers. Most students who graduate with a Communications 12 credit would have to complete English 12 before continu-ing with post-secondary studies.

ENGLISH 11 Prerequisite: English 10

The major goal of English 11 is to provide learning strategies for the following skills: study, organization, reading, writing, oral communication, library research, and media viewing. The course will allow students to:

Comprehend and respond to literary and informational communications, including both print and non-print media.

Use manual and electronic means to manage and exchange ideas, and to communicate these ideas with precision, clar-ity and creativity.

Develop an understanding of themselves and their world by becoming aware of how people use language for various purposes, by working with others, and by establishing rela-tionships within the school and community. Students are expected to work independently as well as cooperatively. Since students will be learning in an integrated classroom, they are expected to appreciate and respect the learning styles and varying points of view of other students. This course follows the prescribed Ministry of Education learn-ing outcomes.

Assessment and evaluation will be based on projects, presenta-tions, responses, examinations, class participation and also improvements related to the following skills: study, organiza-tion, reading, writing, oral communication, research and me-dia viewing.

ENGLISH 11 HONOURS Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation.

English 11 Honours is an enhanced English 11 course with the same prerequisite and learning outcomes, and similar topics covered, but with a more in-depth focus. It is intended for stu-dents who would like to challenge themselves and who have demonstrated an interest in literature and language. Students should be self-motivated and enjoy reading, writing, discussion, and analysis. This course will provide an excellent preparation for senior English electives such as Literature 12 or Creative Writing 11/12.

Assessment and evaluation, will be based on English 11 core curriculum (the same as regular English 11). However, students will be expected to demonstrate higher levels of mastery and critical thinking.

COMMUNICATIONS 11 Prerequisite: English 10 with teacher/counsellor recommendation

The major goal of Communications 11 is to provide a learning program that will best meet the needs of those students who display significant weaknesses in the fol-lowing skills: study, organization, reading, writing, oral communication, library re-search, and media viewing. The pace of this course is slower, but the content will be similar to the regular English 11. This is, however, a non-academic course.

The course content will generally include: * Study and response to Literature (short stories, novels, poetry,

plays, and media viewing).

* Study and response to the writing process (generating, draft-ing, revising, editing, and publishing.

* Study and response to the fundamentals of effective writing (grammar, spelling, vocabulary, sentence structure and paragraph structure).

Students are expected to work independently, as well as coop-eratively. Since students will be learning in an integrated class-room, they are expected to appreciate and respect the learning styles and varying points of view of other students.

Assessment and evaluation will be based on projects, presenta-tions, responses, examinations, class participation, and also im-provements related to the following skills: study, organization, reading, writing, oral communication, research, and media viewing.

ENGLISH 12 Prerequisite: English 11, C or better

English 12 is a mandatory course which all students, except those in Communications 12, must pass in order to graduate. English 12 draws together the learning experiences of 12 years of schooling.

This course supports the ministry-authorized Work Experience 12 courses as well as provides students with the opportunity and support for further development and maintenance of the Graduation Plan. The course is applicable to all Focus Areas / academic disciplines.

Career Education at Tamanawis Secondary is designed to enable students to develop an understanding of career possibilities, career expectations and related skills while meeting the requirements for graduation. This approach provides advantages for our students in their classroom, at post secondary institutions or upon entering the work force after graduation. The Career programs at Tamanawis are designed to help our students transition to any of: the workplace, industry/technical training, college programs or uni-versity. To this end, our Career Preparation and Co-op programs fit into the new Graduation Require-ments and the eight Focus Areas designated by the Ministry of Education.

Focus Areas are based on areas of interest, not final destination and are designed to help students explore and gain skills in these areas that will be useful after graduation. The Ministry of Education states: “Focus Areas are organizers for: courses taken in the Graduation program, career exploration, and post-secondary programs exploration”. The eight Focus Areas have been designed based on commonly avail-able courses and programs at many secondary schools, and on programs available at BC post-secondary institutions. The Focus Areas include:

Business and Applied Business

Fine Arts, Design, and Media

Fitness and Recreation

Health and Human Services

Liberal Arts/Humanities

Science and Applied Science

Tourism, Hospitality, and Foods

Trades and Technology

Focus areas are designed to help students research specific programs offered at BC post-secondary insti-tutions or to gain entry level job skills in their area of Focus. One of the ways students can gain these skills is to combine courses in their focus areas with work experience. Career programs at Tamanawis secondary integrate classroom theory in each of the focus areas with practical experience in the commu-nity. These programs link the community and schools to provide students with a highly motivating, practical education experience. Students in Grade10 should start thinking about their focus areas and when they are in Grade 11 and 12 they may select a Career Program in any of the eight Focus Areas. The Career Department also has responsibility to ensure that students have met the graduation requirements for Planning 10 and the Graduation Transitions Plan. Students should read the information provided to make sure they understand how this school helps students have the tools to complete Planning 10 and the Graduation Transitions Plan.

MinistryMinistry ofof EducationEducation

Secondary School Apprenticeship is an educational program jointly sponsored by the Ministry

of Education and the Industry Training Authority (ITA). Through participation in SSA, students

earn credit toward both secondary school graduation and provincially recognized industry

training certification.

The Ministry of Education has established standards and learning outcomes for SSA, which

is defined as "an educational program that consists of workplace-based training where secon-

dary students register as apprentices with the Industry Training Authority".

The ITA is responsible for working with industry to develop and set standards for industry train-

ing programs. Such programs typically combine on-the-job learning with classroom instruc-

tion. The ITA is also responsible for apprenticeship training. Apprenticeship is paid, workplace

-based training combined with in-class technical training in which apprentices acquire knowl-

edge about the skills, tools, and materials of a trade.

School district and school staff are responsible for implementing SSA according to the stan-

dards contained in the program guide, and providing access to SSA for all interested students.

SPARK, an education program is a collaborative project between

Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Surrey School District No. 36,

and the SPARK Education Foundation.

The primary purpose of the SPARK initiative is to increase post-

secondary participation within student populations that, due to

financial or socio-cultural barriers, typically do not pursue post-

secondary studies. To date, more than 90% of the students regis-

tered in the SPARK program have graduated from secondary

school and more than 80% of these graduates are participating in

post-secondary education.

Each year, the recruitment begins in Sep-

tember or October. Grade 11 students from

Tamanawis fill out an application for the

SPARK program with the Program Advisor

from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. 20

students are selected for the program out of

50-100 Grade 11 applicants. Once selected

the students are assessed at Kwantlen for

their English skills. The 20 students then are

enrolled at Kwantlen in the January semes-

ter of their Grade 11 year. The first course

these students take is English; once per week

in the evening, 3hr class. This course con-

tinues until April. In September, the stu-

dents are enrolled in LCOMM 1190, a 3

credit course.

This course prepares them for Post Secondary. Students will develop study skills and learning

strategies that will assist with their transition to a university environment.

The students each receive a grant of

roughly $6000, part of which covers

the costs of the courses at Kwantlen,

while the remainder is in the form of

a scholarship applied to the cost of
