Description

How do short stories, poems, plays, novels or films generate meaning? This unit explores some of the strategies we can use to unpack the assumptions and ideas conveyed by literary texts. It introduces students to the work of close reading, critical thinking, and creative and academic writing practices. Students who successfully complete this unit will have gained a foundational vocabulary and developed core skills on which to base further studies in English.
