One page per text: what you need before you start, what to watch for, and the questions we will argue about after.
The play
- Romeo and Juliet — read across the autumn, performed in pieces, written about once properly.
The novel
- Moon of the Crusted Snow — Waubgeshig Rice, 2018. The whole class reads it; the seminars are yours.
Short fiction
- Short Stories — five stories in the first unit, chosen because they disagree with each other about what a story is for.
Poetry and spoken word
- Poems for Grade 10 — six poems, read aloud, argued about.
Media
- Media Texts We Study — the advertisements, the documentary segment, and the two front pages.
And your own
Twenty minutes most Fridays, a book you chose. It is not on this list because it is yours, and it does more for your reading than anything on it.
